Go to google and search for itHundreds of recipes for spaghetti.Basically, it can be understood as the American's marinated noodles.It takes longer to cook, It takes about 15-20min to be fully cooked.
I don't like it very much, I always feel that sauce and pasta are difficult to combine well, and the taste of the sauce is always looming.
2. Fettuccine wide noodles

Fettuccine is the second most common pasta, which is relatively flat and wide.Probably because of the larger surface area, the sauce can adhere to the surface better and it tastes better.More flavor.My personal taste is stronger, and I think fettuccine is more delicious and better than spaghettiChewy, Especially when paired with creamy mushroom sauce, the mouth is full of creamy flavor.

3.Penne straight pasta
This is the most basic macaroni, the hollow cylindrical shape is cut diagonally.The taste is soft and tough.It is usually cooked with tomato-based sauces, such as bolognese.Each one is just a short one, and it lacks the joy of "big mouthful noodles".

But it’s very suitable to cook and eat at parties.Easier to cook, Mix with some ready-made sauces bought in supermarkets,Save time and effort, Easily make a lot of people's food.

7. tortellini & ravioli ravioli/dumplings

These two are a pair of brothers, one is ravioli and the other is ravioli, both are used in the middleMeat or cheeseTo fill.

Because there are already fillings, usually useLight sauceThat's fine, because there are already fillings in the middle, and the sauce that tastes too strong will make the show.I personally like it very muchRavioli with cheese filling.
