I would absolutely agree with this but honestly I'd put ziti higher than penne. Ziti seems more substanial while penne kinda feels...flabby.

I like penne with a meat sauce.

Farfalle master race here.

Depends on the sauce. For thick sauces I like rotini as the sauce gets stuck in the grooves. For think sauces, a pasta with a lot of surface area like linguine or angel hair work well.

You fucking idiot.

>ctrl f
>no bucatini

God damn it it's like you people aren't even Trying!

For serious tho, the best pasta dish I've ever had was anchovies, melted in olive oil with garlic and red pepper, with bucatini tossed in, finished with pecarino. So fuckin good

Everything that is not Tagliatelle a shit.

A good pasta needs a good surface-contact with the tongue, enough resistance to the teeth, and good aesthetics with little work.

Penne is my fav. It has the best texture.

Gnocchi, tagliatelle and lasagne are egg pasta, not only flour and water so you can't really rank them among the others
