New England Prefers This Pasta Shape Over Any Other

If they had asked me, and they didn't, I would have said that any pasta shape is good. However, as it turns out, people have very strong opinions about what pasta shapes are the best.

New Englanders Love Mac & Cheese

The favorite shape of pasta has to do with macaroni and cheese, I'm guessing. It is one of our favorite dishes and it's important that you have the right blend of pasta and cheese.

If that theory is correct, that leaves out spaghetti right from the jump. I've never known anyone who has made Mac&Cheese with spaghetti. Except that old fashioned canned stuff, which is also delicious, don't fight me on that one.

The choices cited by foxnews.com gives these choices of pasta:

Penne
Fettuccine
Spaghetti
Capellini
Rotini
Linguine
Rigatoni

Favorite pasta in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts is Penne

Penne is the favorite pasta shape of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, according to foxnews.com

Not only is penne perfect for Mac&Cheese, but there is another classic New England favorite that is made with pasta: American Chop Suey. I know! You use ELBOWS for American Chop Suey, but if you do things like Ella, (my Mom) you use what you have.

America's Favorite Pasta is Spaghetti

No surprise that spaghetti is America's favorite. Like I said in the beginning, all pasta is tasty in my book, but I know my people.
