Penne Rustica This actually might be my favorite food in general.

Its tied for me with Chicken Florentine.

[Jokab]

Shit, I'd eat just pasta+butter with cheese over MANY non-pasta dishes.

Agreed. Rice is really nice when coupled with the right sauce, but no form of potato (well, fries might come close) has anything on pasta.

[Wickwire]

backed penne with a white sauce and crab meat.

[Taco_Human]

chicken broccoli and ziti

[Ultima_5]

lasagna. i'm like that cat.

[coldvein]

everything in here is good shit .. gnocchi really is fucking great though. LOVE IT.

[Bentles]

Guys I don't like those shells. Scoop up onto fork, shell falls off fork. Stab with fork, shell slides away and grabbing a bunch becomes impossible. Wholly unsatisfying. Just gimme normal spaghetti or linguine or something that wants to be eaten.

[Xun]

It's impossible to name my favourite.

I fucking love pasta.

[Revoh]

It's impossible to name my favourite. I fucking love pasta.

Spaghetti al pesto
Cappelletti di carne

LASAGNAAA

[tinabina]

Broccoli garlic and oil. Yum. I can eat it every day.

[Natetan]

Al arrabiata

Came here to post this. So tasty and easy to make

Gnocchi would like a word with you. They are so tasty.

My mom also used to make pesto with basil from our garden. Love pesto, esp with gnocchi

[MiniBossBattle]

food thread? about pasta?!
subscribed.


Linguine with red clam sauce.

[slit]

really sad gnocchi hasnt gotten any love itt :O

I'm with you, gnocchi is my pick.

[Ashodin]

I know how terrible this answer is, but it's actually is my favorite pasta dish: It's every Canadian kid's favorite food. It stuck with me.

When I went to Nova Scotia, it was everywhere. It's crazy amazing how much Canadians are into this simple meal.

[Face it Tiger..]

(Not so)Wild Mushroom Risotto.

[Herbspicesoy]

I can't choose one. I've learned to make some extremely nice pasta dishes, thanks to fxcuisine.com, that have become my favorites. What makes them more special is that these aren't pasta dishes you see in Italian restaurants (outside Italy). They are:
Beans Pasta (sounds really simple, but the combination of herbs makes it amazing)
Pasta in Squid Ink Sauce
Pumpkin Penne

[Snkfanatic]

Subscribed..this thread is amazing for ideas.

Mine would have to be Alfredo with Chicken and Spinach.

[Emerson]

I make a seriously mean penne vodka.

[MrToughPants]

Penne
Sliced Red Peppers
Sliced Chicken Breasts
Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
Large can of cracked black pepper diced tomatoes
Melted moza or marble cheese

[Zoe]

Cajun chicken alfredo

Plain ole chicken fettuccine alfredo if we're just talking Italian.

[GamePnoy74]

My wife and I just had a huge bowl of fettuccine prosciutto at our local pasta jonit tonight, C&O Cucina here in Venice/Marina del Rey. Got leftovers for tomorrow, yo.

[Izick]

Baked Ziti can be amazing.

[jetjevons]

Puttanesca.
Arribiata.

[kylej]

Ain't even a question, really. Chicken parm, baby. The GOAT.

[Vaporak]

If we're talking only western noodles then Spaghetti with a Ragu sauce.

[Kitsunebaby]

Carbonara, puttanesca, bolognese, and amatriciana are all amazing to me. I made some penne alla puttanesca tonight and it was pretty awesome.

Shitty cellphone pic but here it is:



'Twas delicious.

[3N16MA]

Baked Ziti can be amazing.

My sister makes amazing baked ziti. Now I want some.

[kisaya]

Oh god I have never hated any pasta <3 *drooooollss*

Does Pad Thai count? Cuz if I had to choose it would be that.

[watershed]

So many good pasta dishes its hard to choose but I will go with potatoe gnocchi with pesto sauce.

[MisterNugNug]

everything in here is good shit .. gnocchi really is fucking great though. LOVE IT.

Have you it at Salumi? I hear they make fresh gnocchi, but only once a week.

[Kitsunebaby]

I really adore gnocchi but I never thought they were considered pasta. I always though they were like Italian dumplings. Also, if we add asian noodle dishes to the topic it gets way too hard to choose. I love Italian pasta dishes but yakisoba, mee goreng, and pad see ew might give them all a run for their money.

[BlanketFort]

This. Spaghetti al pesto Cappelletti di carne Any class of ravioli LASAGNAAA Mamma miaaaaa

59 posts to get to this. Cannot believe it. This shit is always good. Homemade only, of course.



My favorite pasta ever (not type but individual bowl) would easily go to a generous helping of baby clams, cooked in a light white wine sauce richly layered with garlic and basil. The pasta was perfect. One of my top 5 meals ever.

[Ultima_5]

I don't like pesto. I always think I'll like pesto, but I never like pesto.

[Korey]

Chicken fettucini with sun-dried tomatoes

[Kitsunebaby]

I don't like pesto. I always think I'll like pesto, but I never like pesto.

Is it the texture or the flavor? If it's flavor there's a lot of types of pesto besides regular basil pesto. I personally prefer sun-dried tomato pecan pesto or a roasted red pepper hazelnut pesto.

[Kaako]

I also love pasta like no other. Gotta be tossed with the sauce in the pan and finish 'cooking' that way. I HATE it when they just dump the sauce on the already cooked pasta at the end.
Pastas I love to make: wild mushroom & Al arrabiata. Soooo good.

I just don't like the smell of it, which is weird because I don't mind basil on it's own. I think it's just the quantity.

I actually adore basil and will add shitloads of it to any pasta or bruschetta, however I don't tend to like basil pesto as much, so I know what you mean. Grinding it down to a paste with other ingredients just seems to cover up its taste.

[RobotMafia]

The ones with cheese. Yeah, I'm fat. :(

[tehrafe]

Cannelloni. Awesome stuff

awesome stuff indeed, love carbonara as well though

[Dragoon En Regalia]

I had Cajun-sauce wagon-wheels with my mother for dinner this evening. Caked with a spicy Cajun sauce, with andouille and scallions/pepper shavings on the side. So delicious.

My favorite? I honestly don't know at the moment. Pasta is definitely my favorite starch category, though!

[Arment]

I like baked ziti.

Red Lobster has cajun chicken linguini alfredo and it's not bad.

[Sword Familiar]

I'm probably going to have to agree with some of the others and say lasagna. I'm boring like that.

[KAP151]

Penne Calabrese.

So good.

[Eusis]

Fettuccine Alfredo, when made with hand grated Romano or a decent quality Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano, especially when both are used. Don't want to use the pre-grated crap anymore, and most of those super market wedges of Parmesan are just too salty.

[D-Pad]

I won't choose. You can't make me choose. I love them all! My top picks, if I must, are as follows (in no particular order):

Shrimp Scampi
Chicken Alfredo
Spaghetti and Meatballs
Baked Ziti
Ricotta Stuffed Shells
Ravioli (all varieties)

The spicier the better.

[XDaveyboyX]

Beef Stroganoff This thread is making me very hungry very quickly.

Beef Stroganoff? Mind blown - I thought that was traditionally with rice/mash.

This I must try!

[Curtisaur]

Lasagna or spaghetti... from my mother or late grandmother or great grandmother. I'm simple. I think I have the recipe for at least the spaghetti.
