Hot take: spaghetti is garbage tier pasta. Snap it not because of this but because it sucks
Don’t just talk shit. Tell me what (and where) pasta I should be eating, goddamnit.
I find fettuccine a better use in every way if your dish requires straight pasta (not a huge fan of angel hair). Rotini is the shit when you have a sauce that is chunky but I also use it in mac and cheese - whenever I can really. Honorary mentions to cavatappi and penne as they do a great job of soaking up that sauce with their crevices. Them saucy crevices.
Along the east, rice noodle vermicelli is fantastic; much preferred to any angel hair any day when you can use a rice noodle. Kuey Teow noodles (flat noodles) I can gorge my weight on when prepared correctly. And do not overlook a good egg noodle in a killer broth.
This is in no way an exhaustive list but I find all of these easily in US cities!
Penne gang represent!
My guy, cavatappi or die
Please. The superior rigatoni looks down on your petty bickering.
There are various types of "spaghetti", from the thin ones to quite thick, then vermicelli, spaghetti quadrati, spaghetti alla chitarra etc..Definitely you can't replace spaghetti with fettuccine in all instances, IMHO.
That said, I am team vermicelli (which are thicker). But spaghetti from a good pasta brand (for supermarket stuff, say Rummo, Liguori) are just another thing compared to the Barilla stuff.
Bet
I meh at your fettuccine and counter with the far superior linguini
If looking to keep the general spaghetti form, bucatini can't be beat.
I love em
Bet. Why would you eat spaghetti when mostaccioli exists?
