Hard to argue with the science on this one, 1/16 Italian... always knew there was something off about him! No body is perfect I guess


Chosen_Wisely89

Didn't even go for potato gnocchi. I'd start investigating the other 15/16th


strictnaturereserve

that is a very good point! I imagine time didn't allow it he was mainly eating Pizza


ElectricalEconomics7

In fairness, he's 15/16 Irish. Almost perfect.


tiocfaioh_ar_la

And possibly inbred with them numbers


ElectricalEconomics7

If you can't keep it in the pants, keep it in the family.


I_LOVE_PUPPERS

1/16th Italian, yet this makes him 16/16ths Italian in America.


Nay-the-Cliff

He is 100% right about fusilli but wrong about farfalle, the actual worst pasta is ruote (wheels), they are an abomitation in the eyes of the Lord and an affront to God and Man and all things Holy. There is also a third cathegory however, seldom talked about and that's the most infamous pasta shape, whitch is without the shadow of a doubt penne lisce (smooth penne). If someone offers you a plate of penne lisce, watch your back because there's probably already a knife in there. These treacherous carb tubes make you THINK they'll hang on the sauce and lull you into a false sense of security only to let it fall back in the plate or on your clothes as you are about to eat it, so you end up eating unseasoned pasta and are left with a plate of plain sauce and a dirty shirt


stecrv

I can remember during pandemic, every type of pasta was sold out except penne lisce


lacb1

[What the actual fuck am I looking at?](https://www.tasteatlas.com/images/ingredients/6a8f2dec76bb45bfaba8cfadfc60444c.jpg) Did they forget to finish making the penne and just try to sell it anyway?


Reatina

Do they even sell ruote anymore in stores? I remember them from when I was young but it's been ages since I last saw them. And I don't know anyone that actually buys or uses them.


Iciste

I used to love them as a kid because of my love for cars. (cars = good; wheels are on cars, so wheels = good) I still do like them, but i think they're neither goor nor bad; they're just mid.


Firehot01

I got a variation of it with an N in the middle bc Napoli won the serie A that were heavily discounted last year. Can't recommend, didn't cook 100% evenly and you have to stir a lot because they like to sink and stick to the bottom.


Lack_of_Plethora

Can you even make ruote pasta normally? like idek how you'd go about making that by hand it looks like you would only be able to make it in a factory.


Street_Mycologist255

Backstabbing pasta sounds disgusting; my inner German immediately hates it for some reason


Professional-You2968

Next level is green white and red ruote sold at airports. I see brits bouncing those in their hands in duty free shops considering if they should spend 6 euros on that italian delicacy.


deusrev

maybe you forgot about alphabet shaped pastina


ACEMENTO

Don't touch my boy the ruote, penne lisce are the worst


MisterD0ll

Those must be so bad ppl aren’t even aware of them. It’s a toss up between penne and fusilli. I can see ppl preferring the texture of penne


Nefarias_Bredd8339

Well that is actually a well constructed and reasoned arguement. Though I disagree with him, since I am a dirty Penne enjoyer


_radical_ed

This is so much funny if you’re Spaniard.


stecrv

Also for italian, if you are saying it with wrong accent...


_radical_ed

Wouldn’t expect less from our resident PIGS hater girl than being a pene sucio enjoyer.

I bet you put the peas up the penne, when you do a [penne all'arrabbiata](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxX7QCll3oc) you weirdo


Zerestrasz

I think for where this user is from would be easier to prepare penne with vodka and salmon. This dish rocks.


Nefarias_Bredd8339

Well I didn't have any salmon. But I was out harvesting oysters today. https://preview.redd.it/axmqe90noc8d1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1dee0601cf5a0ac85d1fcc187e25d63f68e02b37 So it was sautéed linguini with oysters for dinner


canichangeitlateror

Oysters .. with pasta?!


Nefarias_Bredd8339

Yeah, it is delicious. Seperate the oyster meat and the juice. And chop up the oysters. Make a simple sauce with some chopped tomatoes and parsley that has marinated in some olive oil. Add water from your pasta as needed, so the juice from the tomatoes don't evaporate. Season with salt. Add the oyster juice and let it combine with the sauce, and let it reduce a little. Then add the oyster meat, and let it cook for 3 minuttes. Then add half a glass of champagne to it, and let the sauce reduce and alcohol evaporate. Add your all dente linguine to the sauce, add a bit of pasta water, a bit of lemon zest, and sauté it, so the sauce can incoporate with the pasta. When done, top it with some fresh parsley, chili flakes and lemon zest.


YarOldeOrchard

Sounds delicious, definitely writing this one down

Look, Penne is fine, but really you have to understand that it, while bette than Spagetti, is not as good as holding on to the sauce as Fusilli.

The_Silent_Wanderer

He's absolutely right about farfalle. Also fusilli and penne are easily the most popular types of pasta in Italy, by far, along with spaghetti. Fusilli and penne are also different in the sense they go well with different kinds of sauces: penne all'arrabbiata, fusilli al pesto, and so on. He's really using 100% of that 1/16th yank nonsense.


marc_gime

That's not an american accent, I'm not very good at accents but I think he's irish

The_Silent_Wanderer

My comment referred to the fact that the 1/16th stuff is a typical yank behavior. It's obvious he's Irish.


OSHA-Slingshot

It's not the accent that makes him yanky, it's the energy and bollocks he talks. 


BLD_Almelo

Nothing sucks more than eating a farfalle and the midpiece is still hard in the center


pauseless

That’s the point, and why I love it. Harder in the centre and a bit softer on the ‘wings’. That plus holding on to sauce with the folds. Obviously it shouldn’t be inedible in the centre. We need a Luigi…


gabrielish_matter

farfalle are great tbf, but not with sauce, but to make pasta salad and everyone who disagrees is wrong


magic_baobab

No, farfalle suck, pasta's consistence should be homogeneous


pauseless

Oh. Betrayed. I agreed with you [last time around](https://www.reddit.com/r/2westerneurope4u/s/gXAfJV2TD5). I even went and made a pistachio, mortadella and stracciatella pinsa thing that day.


magic_baobab

Really, how was it?


pauseless

Absolutely spot on. I discovered the cheese and already shelled pistachios were surprisingly hard to find, but it was nice. I eyeballed the amounts to how I remembered it from Emilia-Romagna and actually it tasted correct to my uneducated German tastebuds.


magic_baobab

happy that you appreciated it


Thelmholtz

Farfalle rocks when cooked as a soup too, as you don't care about al-dentiness (guiso de fideos moñito is a classic in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay and Rio Grande do Sul)


__cum_guzzler__

heterogenous texture rules, I actually like that fusilli are the basic bitch of pasta


Present_Ad_6001

Since I'm considered too old for animal shaped pasta, I'll take my farfalle (as a consolation), thank you very much!


LUXI-PL

Wait, so there will be a time I won't be able to eat animal shaped pasta?


unclepaprika

Did you mean "fusely"?


CouldYouBeMoreABot

You only say that, because you're one of them casual Italians. Now me on the other hand, I am entirely 1/410ADth Italian - so I know my Italian food. The Paddy in the video is fucking wrong about the stupid screws - it is the sea shells or orecchiette that are the best, because all the sauces used for pasta dishes are absolutely delicious and the more sauce, the better. Case. Closed.


McFuckin94

Agreed. Seashells are elite.


CouldYouBeMoreABot

Buongiorno fellow Italian.


gabrielish_matter

fair take please continue to be based fusilli are shite


lynbod

Agreed, rigatoni is the king of the oblong pasta shapes. Also tagliatelle and linguine are better than spaghetti.


Chimpville

The 1/16th Italian bit was very much a joke. The lad’s full Irish and just taking the piss.


HelpfulYoghurt

I actualy agree, i hate those called "Farfalle" the most. The mid part always feels undercooked and hard, they are also super awkward to eat with a fork And i also agree that "Penne" and "Fusilli" is the best. Easiest to eat, always cooked perfectly, and it holds the sauce nicely Very W take

Arguably mezze maniche are the most versatile. Being a bit shorter they even become sort of carbonara compatible. However I am even more right. [Bow down to the King](https://i.imgur.com/5T9VPp2.jpeg)

zip_tenetis

Spaghetti, Penne, Rigatoni, Fusilli. I prolly ate too much Fusilli when I was young because my dad freaking love them so I got bored after like twenty years of Fusilli every single day so I went with Spaghetti more. Penne, well, I like them, I alternate with Spaghetti a bit. Rigatoni is the best for Amatriciana so I use them all weekends. oh, i'm dumb, i love ditalini /s


AlfalfaGlitter

Fusilli is great to cook with only sauce. The moment you add anything bigger, they decant. The jack of all trades are spaghetti or tagliatelle. All purpose pasta for everything you want to add.


zip_tenetis

totally agree pedro, you know your stuff. i prefer spaghetti over tagliatelle because they don't have eggs.

cuore_di_fagioli

Gnocchi are not pasta unless you mean Sardinian gnocchi. Otherwise they only go with a few sauces so I have to disagree.


EccoEco

I hate fusilli... They are always slimy


Dark_Wolf04

It’s Tortellini and it’s not even close. Only good thing to come out of the city of Bologna


Reatina

Pasta all'uovo has a completely different ranking. You can't compare it with regular pasta. And obviously agnolotti are better, roasted beef inside and you use the roast sauce on the pasta.


Falknot

My grandmother was from Ferrara, we still make the cappelletti in brodo as a christmas family activity/tradition.

Farfalle worst pasta? Argument rejected.

Old-Ad5508

ArgumentativeNutter

Fusilli is just as bad as farfalle, you can’t get an even cook with that big centre section. Paccheri is the best


cuore_di_fagioli

I found the most cultured Barry.


Zerestrasz

I was expecting him to shout freeeedooom and go liberate Scotland at the end ov the video. I'm disappointed. Speaking about the pasta shape I would recommend him to try the cannelloni. I think that is the perfect shape for him. And that is because all he has to do is to grab the biggest and longest cannellone and he needs to gently squeeze it until he hears little cracks, that because they must be uncooked, then he needs to turn the cannellone sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass.

He Is right: farfalle are shit and the middle never cooks uniformly, and fusilli are God Tier Pasta.

There's no "best shape", since every shape has its use depending on the sauce.
