I normally have Angel Hair for pretty much everything for its relatively light texture but recently had Mafaldine and love it. I had never heard of it before! However, its completely different in texture and density than Angel Hair.

What pasta do you prefer and what sauces do you match with what pasta?

This is the correct answer. Fusilli would have also been accepted.

Angel Hair or Vermicelli when making soups with pasta or eating with red gravy/meatballs/Italian Sausage.

Lasagna noodles when making lasagna, naturally.

Elbow when making my mac & cheese.

We do eat more Angel Hair and Vermicelli though.

A poster named The Sicilian who eats one pasta shape? Say it ain't so. One my my favorite shapes, busiate, is Sicilian. Imagine a short, tight spiral of a flat linguine style noodle; they're great for holding bits of slightly chunky stuff, like the crushed almonds in pesto alla trapanese. I also like strozzapreti, just because of the name (priest stranglers). Wide papardelle, fresh, are delicious as well.

If you want to geek out on pasta shapes & their typical sauce/topping pairings, check out Maureen Fant's Encyclopedia of Pasta: LINK

Angel hair Alfredo with lump crabmeat from Gino's.

I can taste it right now. That and a Gino's salad with anchovies and some Lawrence bread and I'm in heaven. Split an arancini with TL&T Mrs. Lammo for an app. Extra grated parm at table on everything.

The shape of the pasta depends on the sauce, but I love a rich ragu made with rabbit or short rib with pappardelle pasta

Tajarin. It's very delicate northern Italian pasta. Egg yolks, 00 flour and a touch of salt.

Pappardelle egg noodles under bolognese cannot be beat.

I'm on a low carb diet so I eat spaghetti squash instead of real pasta.

ravioli, this might be cheating though.

If we talking non-stuffed pasta, probably fettuccine. Non-Italian, udon.
