Pasta #7- Heart Shaped Pasta.

My husband got this for me for Valentine's and I just got around to trying it. The ridges means that it holds sauce in a rather even coating, but doesn't allow for pockets of sauce, which is something I really like, so while this is good, it wasn't my favorite in that respect. I've also taken to adding Old Bay to the vegan mix, which I think is a fun variation on it.

Pasta #3-Linguine

This was a little saucier because there was nothing to hold onto the no cheese sauce like the shells or orecchiette, but the noodles did seem to be covered enough for my liking. Not too different from linguine alfredo in practice.

Pasta #12: Ditali

A small pasta but it was dense, the sauce made it stick together but not in a bad way

Pasta 11: Elastici

Fun and twisty and holding the sauce well.

Pasta 10: Rigatoni

A classic. I had eaten half the bowl before realizing I needed to photograph

Pasta #9: Creste di Gallo

Good heft to the pasta but with the hallowness of traditional macaroni. Best of both worlds!

Pasta #8 Farfalline

This pasta was both the inspiration for this project because they are tiny and not like anything I've every tried before and a major source of anxiety because I was worried they would get stuck in the strainer (they did not).

Given their size, they are like a soup pasta (thus not needing drained) but with this recipe the vegan cheese sauce kind of made them stick together and it reminded me of one of those pasta or rice sides that come in a box and just add water in terms of the experience of eating it.

Pasta 6-Trottole

Held the cheese really well, which was delightful. Definitely coming back to this one after I have completed the quest, because this was a perfect pasta to cheese experience.
