I am not including fresh pasta or anything that could be considered a 'dumpling' here, so no gnocchi, etc. Different category of product. I am also leaving aside shapes that are traditionally exclusive to egg noodles, like pappardelle.

S tier: Fettucine, linguine, lasagna
A tier: Rigatoni, spaghetti, conchiglie, ditali
B tier: Capellini, farfalle, conchiglione
C tier: Penne, risoni
D tier: Bucatini, fusilli
F tier: No pasta is F tier, don't be ridiculous
Not rated because I can never find them in stores: Orechiette, cavatelli

d tier bucatini makes this whole list terrible, I love my thick chewy pasta boy

Mr. Riceman @MrRiceman7/9/2024, 2:01 AM

This is fusilli erasure.

Bruno Dias @bruno7/9/2024, 2:04 AM

sorry I forgot about fusilli. I have put it in the d tier where it belongs

angel hair is f tier imo. no texture. blink and it becomes one soggy congealed mass.

Bruno Dias @bruno7/9/2024, 2:16 AM

Capellini is a specialized tool. It has to be deployed with care and forethought, but, when properly used, it can be very effective. It is not a casual easy weeknight dinner ideas you saw on tiktok type of pasta. It is for sages only.

ros @ros7/9/2024, 2:29 AM

you know what, noted. maybe i'll give it another chance.

I don't disagree with the placement of Lasagna here but it's a bit of an outlier in that you wouldn't really eat it on its own, whereas someone might eat a bowl of just spaghetti with nothing on it (see: small kids, picky adults, etc.). I don't know how to categorize it either, because it definitely doesn't fall in with the Filled Pastas, it's sort of its own thing. Also where does gnocchi rank

Bruno Dias @bruno7/9/2024, 2:24 AM

Lasagna is ultimately still a dry semolina pasta shape, and I'd argue that the fact that it's fantastic in a casserole form factor is just a testament to it being singularly adapted to its environment. It is also, frankly, a better soup noodle than most purpose-built soup noodle pasta; I'd rather have broken up lasagna 'slicks' in a soup than most small soup noodles. So it's not even being evaluated just in the context of lasagna the dish, it has a bit of range.

Gnocchi as in the dumpling is in another category. Gnocchi as in the dry pasta shape that's kind of like a small conchiglie, I'd say is B tier; a solid but unremarkable shaped pasta.

Lasagna: the Apex Predator of pasta shapes

Sergio @Oigres7/9/2024, 2:46 AM

You can lump it together with spaghetti if you want, but to me spaghettoni feels substantially different and ocupies the S tier

glotch @glotch7/9/2024, 2:57 AM

i don't have a strong opinion on this subject but i will say that this post has been put on my timeline like three times which is enough for firefox to offer to translate the page from italian. and frankly i think that's beautiful

while dinosaur/cartoon pasta shapes are conceptually delightful, in practice they tend to fail as both artistic depictions and as food, to the degree where I would nominate them as F tier

Diana @diana-deerest7/9/2024, 1:06 PM

have you ever come across spaghetti quadrati? i find them incredibly weird because i really don't like them despite basically just being a dry semolina rendition of my favourite fresh pasta shape, spaghetti alla chitarra

cavatappi is impossible to find but its an easy S tier for me when i do

Ceryl the Pretty @ceryl7/9/2024, 6:11 PM

Weirdly I can get cavatappi relatively easily but the brand I buy (Delverde) labels it as tortiglioni, which is objectively wrong. But it's absolutely S tier.
