What are your favourite types of pasta? 🍝

[Eddie]

Whats the long thin tube pasta? Like spaghetti length.

I already mentioned it lolls. Bucatini.

 

[AlgoAlex]

it's called The Spärrows! don't forget the superfluous umlaut

I'm getting it wrong anyway - I don't mean the tube, I mean the thicker spaghetti.

 

[Penelope]

a good rim sesh is not unlike a good Italian - you always want the plate to be clean at the end

You don't even need a plate just your face HA!

 

[Eddie]

The difference between fettuccine and tagliatelle is really not worth remembering.

 

[Jark]

I've just discovered the de Cecco online store where I'm promptly going to spend all my money. they have everything! there's a BUCATINI GRANDI with an extra large hole. and the spinach linguine looks like a necessity.

also you only have to buy 25kg in weight for free delivery so HAPPY DAYS!

Bigoli?

 

[lolly]

Bigoli?

I was after the one that is traditionally used for cacio e pepe, which google tells me is tonnarelli. But bigoli sounds much the same.

 

[Eddie]

The only one I use for a homemade cacio e pepe is a pasta called Tagliolini. It is literally the only dish I use that for because I find for the simplest of pasta dishes it is unusually difficult to get right.

And I don't use de Cecco for that I use this instead: https://www.souschef.co.uk/products...OWRD4JMJK23uM-RhWNO6zPs3_kpsejEsaAnJJEALw_wcB

my local posh one is currently selling a brand with packaging designed by Dolce & Gabbana

@Jark, I will mention them again because I practically use their videos for meditation, but when you do begin your sfoglia rolling endeavours I'll recommend Pasta Grannies for visual guidance and inspiration. they make it look so easy

 

[Mats]

has anyone mentioned ROTELLE yet?

 

[Jark]

@Mats amazing. I'll genuinely spend half my weekend watching their videos thanks hun!

I recommend you cook Marcella Hazan's classic tomato sauce recipe to pair with your first try (or just any other pasta night really)

 

[Eddie]

Marcella Hazan's book is indispensable. Her ragu bolognese is KING.

 

[Mats]

there's a @lolly pasta

Does it taste like carrot?

It does. They also make a spinach one (really really good) and a beetroot one (haven't tried it yet).

The spinach one sounds good but I can't really imagine the carrot one. I want to try it

Isn't this the Pope's fave too?

 

[Eddie]

Erm why isn't orecchiette on this list? That to me is the king of pasta

 

[Eddie]

Loads missing @Jark.

My favourite ever is probably Orecchiette. It is the perfect pasta for most occasions. Trofie is the best for pesto too.

Of that list I think Pappardelle, Rigatoni or Linguine are my most common gotos. Pappardelle is essential with a ragu.

Oh.
