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.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
All Italia, Penne Uevo.

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.

Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
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.Originally Posted by W3MIV
