Least Favorite Pasta Shapes?  Favs: capellini and linguini
Worsts: penne and fettucini  With pasta, to me it's all about
mouth-feel. This trait determines whether I like or dislike a
pasta shape.    1. Click to Upload a photo (10 MB limit)   1. i
love capatavi but think that farfella is overrated. I agree that
fettiucini is a bit odd too. For me, Fettuchin always seems so
doughy/chewy for lack of better definition. Have you ever had
the spaghetti that is hollow and has ridges on the outside,
Bucatini? It has a nice mouth-feel.      7 Replies     1. re:
Munkipawse        Bucatini is marvelous (Mrs. Khan's personal
fav, dontchaknow), but I've never encountered bucatini rigati.
Latini, by the by, makes tremendous bucatini, but it ain't
cheap.        1. re: Perilagu Khan          After my mother
spent years pooh-poohing any but the thinnest long pasta in the
'60s and onward as a battle cry, I started experimenting and
realized that I just love bucatini
