Do you have a favorite kind of pasta?

I'm not talking sauce, I'm talking the actual pasta? Do you prefer spaghetti, linguine, or fettuccine? Or do you prefer rigatoni or penne? What do you like?

It often depends on the sauce for me, but I've decided over the past year or so that spaghetti isn't what you should serve with meat sauce. Rigatoni all the way, and I find myself using rigatoni almost exclusively.

Also, do you have a favorite brand of dried pasta? I recently found La Molisana (an Italian import) at my po-dunk Winn Dixie and gave it a shot. It's by far my favorite; I highly recommend it if you can find it.

Just big pasta sheets? Or cut? Or even extruded?
Homemade linguini. Also, anyone who uses sauce out of the jar better be in college.

I kinda disagree with this. There are a few really good sauces, and you don't always have time to make a homemade sauce.

Sometimes i make a home made sauce when i wanna get really fancy and have the time, but Spaghetti is usually a budget night dinner anyway.

Jar sauce can still make a great meal. The flavor is all in the meat. Brown the meat with onions, garlic and bellpepers and then slow cook the sauce with it. Turns out pretty damn good. $5 dinner.

We have cut way back on pasta. Since wifes heart valve replacement and my deciding to eat mo betta and have losy 57 pounds of me, pasta has moved from staple to treat. That said, we make our own if its flat pasta. We buy shaped dry pasta. And if ravioli I make it fresh

Yeah, it's easy to "turn up" a jarred sauce with just some fresh onion and garlic, and maybe some basil.

I just tried Victoria's sauce. It's bloody expensive at like $7 a jar, but it really tasty. I also like Newman's Own Marinara. But seriously, **** Prego and Ragu. I also like that the ingredient list is very small: WHOLE TOMATOES, ONIONS, OLIVE OIL, SALT, GARLIC, BASIL, SPICES.

Never been a big fan of penne. Just give me angel hair drowned in meat sauce, or a really good fettuccine alfredo. Pretty simple pasta tastes.

If anyone's interested, ATK's taste tests:

Bertoli Tomato and Basil won their jarred pasta sauce taste test: This sauce had a "good balance of flavors" and "a nice chunky texture." Because it wasn't overseasoned with dried herbs, tasters thought this sauce tasted "the most like fresh-cooked tomatoes."

Victoria's Marinara won their "premium" jarred pasta sauce taste test: This “authentic”-tasting sauce earned praise for “robust, continuing flavor” comparable to “homemade.” Medium-bodied, the sauce is made with imported Italian tomatoes and olive oil, as well as fresh onions, fresh garlic, and fresh basil. Its “nice, bright acidity” evoked fresh tomatoes, and the sauce was “restrained, rather than drowned in sugar.”

Muir Glen I picked up once, not expecting much.
That shit was amazeballs, like you could taste each spice individually and as part of the medley, and the perfect tomatoes. Only had it the once, but it knocked my socks off.

A nice gnocchi is probably my favorite, but I don't ever make it at home. It can also kind of suck.

I think I like thin spaghetti as my goto when I'm cooking.

Pasta night is a complete cluster**** at my house, though.

One son only likes "noodles" (which he no longer gets because he really just uses pasta as an excuse to dip his bread into sauce).
One son only likes rigatoni/penne type pastas (he does have sensory and fine motor issues, which makes noodles challenging.. but still...)
Wife won't eat pasta, so she gets either spaghetti sauce or quinoa with the marinara.

I just eat whatever is left over... Thankfully, I really enjoy cooking pasta sauce, so we have still eat that meal once a week.

The Muir Glen they tested didn't do so hot, but it wasn't this particular version.

If you can find it, try the Victoria's. It's very nice.
