I agree. Barilla has a good selection, and their quality and prices are excellent. I personally tend to penne and my niece loves farfalla. I used to make my own pasta, but it is not worth the trouble. Barilla also makes a passable marinara sauce in the bottle.

I agree—Barilla is the best easily-available pasta.

The two things to look for in any pasta is that it's made with a hard-wheat flour and that it has that rough surface (from being pressed through a bronze die rather than a steel one) that allows the sauce to stick to it.

Had a bowl of my above fav with some homemade red sauce last week with a pale ale. Was excellent, the pasta was perfect al dente.

I keep a variety of shapes. Orzo, fusilli, linguini, penne, and rigatoni are all represented currently.

Buckwheat soba noodles for the last sacramental rite, an inspirational bowl of noodly goodness.

Shrimp instead of meatballs, and a slow (2 hr) simmered creamy veggie romano sauce.

This pasta tastes great, and is low carb. I love the Penne. http://www.dreamfieldsfoods.com/

$2.49 for less than a pound of pasta is outrageous. I would sooner give up pasta than pay that.

Yeah, but it gets bigger when you cook it.

The short pastas are nice, but there's something about slurping up the 11" long strands of gangly, wiggly, teamed striations, then biting off what won't fit in the mouth all while stooped over the plate.
Ever see hungry ducks eat a batch of spaghetti?

Been at least 18 years since I've had fried bow tie pasta.

I don't think it was this recipe. The one I had was boiled and then lightly seasoned with cajun spice and then fried.

Just got back from the Weis. They now have a boutique pasta, Delverde from Abruzzo, Italia, bearing the Weis house label. Looks good; all Semolina and of a rich gold. Bought two pounds each of Linguine #12 and Capellini #1 for $0.50 per pound. Normally $1.99 on the shelf, but put on sale to introduce it. They also had a range of short pastas in boxes (farfalle, penne, rotini, etc) similarly priced.

Plan to give it an assay.
