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
farfalle are F tier, they suck so bad just to look cute for 3.2 seconds before you chomp them down and realize the "wings" are soggy and the "caterpillar" is still uncooked. genuinely evil pasta, i would rather not eat at all
also we eating bugs? rubbish
My wife loves farfalle and it absolutely baffles me. Love that woman but cannot, and never will, understand what drives her to that pasta
