Favorite pasta

Linguini

Depends what I'm cooking. But paccheri often features at Casa Harters. 

 

Or where I'm eating it. I'm a messy eater with pasta, so never order long pasta in a restaurant, as I'm bound to find half my dinner down my shirt. 

 

By the by, my new favourite pasta cookbook, is Rachel Roddy's "A - Z of Pasta". Set out alphabetically, with recipes for each pasta (and suggestions for OK substitutions).

Best pasta I ever ate was in Rao’s in NY

[Harters]

I don't know whether it was the best but it was certainly the most memorable. And a very rare break of my habit of not ordering long pasta. This was at Al Commercio in Bardolino on Lake Garda. Tagliatelle with donkey sauce. I managed not to make an ass of myself.

Favorite pasta shapes are cavatappi for cut and bucatini for long.

Favorite pasta dish, or at least the one I make most at home, is amatriciana.
