    Firstly: all long pasta is an inferior vehicle for the main purpose of pasta, moving sauce from the bowl into your body while providing additional heft and texture.

    Second: spaghetti is the worst long pasta shape. The worst pasta shape overall is penne lisce.

    The best pasta shape depends on the purpose. Farfalle and orzo have their best uses in pasta salad but wouldn’t make sense in a hot sauce-heavy dish.

    The argument doesn’t apply to Asian cuisine where noodles have a different role.
