  • Pasta shapes matter. Way too many times I've had to listen to people say something along the lines of, "It's all pasta in the end, just use whatever shape." False. In Italy, sauces and shapes are carefully and intentionally paired with each other, and while you can find both spaghetti and rigatoni coupled with carbonara at restaurants in Rome, you (hopefully) won't ever see carbonara served with fresh, egg dough pasta like tagliatelle. Why? Because you need the chew of durum wheat dried pasta to stand up to the richness of the egg yolk and guanciale in the sauce, as well as the starchy pasta water that it produces to emulsify the sauce. Egg pasta is too delicate and its flavor and texture would be drowned out by the brash bite of the pork fat, black pepper, and Pecorino Romano
    Italians usually don't see the need to go into the specifics of why you would never commit such pasta heresy, and instead just matter of factly say, "non ci va" (it doesn't go [together with that]). So, which shapes are worthy of your time? We decided to buy a ton of pasta, set up a camera, and recorded a long series of pasta rants. Check them out.

    Orzo cooked like risotto (lightly browned in oil then stirred with bit by bit of hot stock) is excellent, but other preparations not so much.

    • @waltertriesch2560
      @waltertriesch2560 4 роки тому +1

      Try in pasta salads, soups or rice pilaf. Also, a very easy pasta to toast in a pan which will dramatically change its flavor.

    Italians: "Different dishes require different pasta, so there are a wide variety of shapes to suit the--"
    This Guy: "I'm gonna tell you which shapes are stupid."

    Pastina is great for many elderly or kids as well. I love it in soup.

    What is the favorite pasta of Latvia?
    Rigatoni, of course!

  • @sdegueldre
    @sdegueldre 4 роки тому +2

    Capellini are the king of thin sauces! If you're making Capellini and your sauce isn't thin or lacks seasoning it's gonna taste like nothing, try Capellini aglio e olio! Delicious!

    @andrewfelixferdaus8767 4 роки тому +2

    Rigatoni, bucatini, pappardelle, spaghetti and conchiglie those would be my favorite

    I don't know, I'm from Colombia and we make rice with angel hair pasta (we call it arroz de fideo or noodle rice I guess) and it's 🔥
    Also, someone mentioned you can add them to soups and they are a nice addition 🤷🏾‍♂️

      @fordhouse8b 4 роки тому +1

      Yes, it can go perfectly answers his hypothetical question about eating a dish, and being glad that angel har was the shape chosen for it. I challenge Sasha to make Arroz de Fideo using Rigatoni instead of Angel Hair. That being said, for the vast majority of pasta dishes, angel hair is indeed sub-par.

  • @DiegoVilaguitar

  • @randomdogdog
    @randomdogdog 4 роки тому

    My top 5 are fafalle(why they don't call it butterflies is besides me), elicoidali(small twisted rigatoni), caserecii(my go to macaroni alternitive), Denti rigati(it's close to what your site calls lumaconi/lumache, but with less of a flare at the end) and linguine(it's a good default long pasta, copes with any sauce. I take it over fettuccine any day, It's the curve that does it for me). and an honourable mention to orechette as a decent fafalle alternative, and penne lisce, I cannot get zitti here and penne rigatte is used for things it shouldn't be. oh, and risoni/orzo, a warm bowl of sauced risoni can stand up on its own.

    Can’t believe you didn’t throw some deep shade at farfalle (“bow ties”). They are THE WORST.

  • @mattsavage6365
    @mattsavage6365 4 роки тому +2

    My top five in no particular order:
    Farfalle (bows), Cavatappi (corkscrews), Conchiglie (shells), Fusili (screws), Penne (pipes).

  • @waltertriesch2560
    @waltertriesch2560 4 роки тому +1

    Bucatini, one of his top pics... Why? Sauce doesn't get in it and if you did slurp it, you get more air. Most annoying pasta ever! Then he doesn't like linguini? I can't.
    He didn't even review my favorite, spaghetti rigati.

  • @brycewalburn3926

      Small shells. It actually grabs more of the bechemel. Also try mezza penne for it.

    If you don't like Angel Hair, you are definitely overcooking it. To be fair, good luck undercooking it.

  • @malhekai
    @malhekai 4 роки тому +1

    Bucatini freaking suck tho, you try to eat a forkful of that and you will just make a gross shlurping noise in front of your friends while those dumb tubes trash around coating everything in sauce. I hate them with every fiber of my being.
    Also dissing on elbows is class warfare.

    Sorry, but not liking Linguine is a proper stupid opinion. It's the best long pasta.
