Top: Elbows with ridges
Bottom: Bowties

Like what are bowties even for, they don't hold onto the sauces well, and they're too big to put more than two or three on the fork, and the middle bit cooks slower than the wings so it's mushy when the middle is done, and it's also too hard to munch on like you can with stricks of spaghet. Bowtie defenders please explain.

    Radiatori can achieve such a wild sauce to pasta ratio, I love them. Wheels have a good texture too. Hell, shells as well. I might just like structure.

    I should probably find and try some cascatelli.

    I could do without penne; I think I'd always prefer rigatoni.

    Anything with a filling is even better.

      I've never seen radiatori before! They look like bugs. Very cool and looks like it would have optimal sauce retention and texture. Good share.

      I like cascatelli, you can steal it pretty easily from Whole Foods in the US. They're like funny little tentacles that work great with any sauce you can think of.
