💯 Spaghetti, linguine, and similarly shaped pastas are the worst form factor. It holds virtually no sauce, which is the highlight of most pasta dishes. Conversely, spirals, wagon wheels, and texas shaped pastas are great because they have very high sauce:pasta ratios.
Thanks for the info! I’d never heard of bronze die cut before. I’ve been buying De Cecco, so it’s validating to see that it’s one of these bronze cut pastas. I always knew it was better than Barilla! Lol
Honestly, spaghetti
If you’re Italian, sorry for the stroke

Same. Too slippery. Doesn’t grab the sauce
Spaghetti is not my favorite either, but if the pasta you’re using is not holding onto the sauce, then try a “bronze die cut” brand.
The brand I use and have had good luck with is Delallo.
But I completely agree with you, pasta that has a smooth exterior is useless. Since the whole point of it is to be a vehicle for the sauce.
