Pasta Variety

Pasta, like people, comes in all shapes and sizes. Some people like one type of pasta and some like other types of pasta. Similarly, some pasta shapes are good for say a casserole or a lasagna whereas some are better with red sauce or Alfredo sauce. Knowing the types of pasta is essential to not making mistakes like serving a lasagna made with linguine!!

I love penne pasta. Penne pasta to me is amazing because I love how the ridges really hold the pasta sauce and, unlike with spaghetti, the marinara sauce doesn't slide right off. What is your favorite type of pasta?? Do you know the name of it??!?!? If not check out a few of the possibilities below...

Hi Sarah! Penne pasta is very good. It’s cute that they look like bow ties too! My favorite pasta is fettuccini. I love fettuccini alfredo! The texture and creaminess is heaven for me. I never really thought why certain pastas were chosen for different recipes so this post was really interesting for me. I really like-a ze blog you are a-running here! Great job!
