I like two very different types: angel hair and ziti. |

Those are my 2 favorites too, depending on what I'm making. I also like shells or elbows for chili.
*Edit*
In fact, can anyone tell me the difference between penne, ziti and mostaccioli?
Depending on which brand you buy, they can all look the same, but the penne is always cut on an angle.

Me too! Or rotini in place of ziti sometimes.
And do not bring me any of that whole grain shit either. Whole wheat pasta wrecks every dish you use it for, because that characteristic sharpish, "nutty" flavor doesn't work with the majority of pasta sauces. Save the whole grains for the bread.

I whole heartedly agree as well. Wheat pasta basically tastes like shit.

mostaccioli is smooth penne
penne is tubes cut at parallel angles with ridges (then why is there penne rigate??)
ziti is smooth rigatoni
rigatone is tubes cut perpendicular to the lines of the tube with ridges
I also love Cavatappi too. Great with pesto.

I love gnocchi, but I don't let myself have it often, because holy starch overload, Batman.
Barilla Plus Multigrain is my choice for that type of pasta. No difference in flavor, and the only difference in texture is that it takes overcooking for it not to be al dente.

As a diabetic, I have to eat the whole wheat stuff. I don't mind it...I barely notice the difference. My favorites are the thicker noodles, the mostacciolis, zitis, and pennes. |
I notice the difference, but I like them both.
