What Is The Best Pasta For Grabbing Sauce With Every Bite?

There are many people who love Italian cuisine, particularly because of the quality of the pasta. At the same time, a lot of the flavor of the dish comes from the sauce. Therefore, when you bite into pasta, you want to get plenty of sauce as well. The shape of the pasta plays a tremendous role in the amount of sauce you can capture. There are several factors to consider if you want to grab as much pasta sauce as possible with every bite.

Tubular Pasta With Ridges Is The Best Option

If you want to grab as much sauce as possible, you should go with tubular pasta with ridges. Two of the most common examples include penne pasta and ziti. The sauce can fill the tubular shape, allowing you to capture a tremendous amount of sauce with each bite. Then, you can grab additional sauce with the ridges on the outside, which will give you an extra flavor boost. If you are interested in saucy pasta, you should select a tubular pasta with ridges.

Long, Flat Noodles Are Also A Great Option

If your pasta has a cream sauce, you might also be interested in long, flat noodles. The longer and wider than noodles are, the more sauce you will be able to capture. Creamy sauce tends to be sticky, so it should stick to the pasta well. One of the best options is pappardelle. It is a great way to stop up all of the sauce in the dish. If the noodle is too thin, you won’t be able to get a lot of pasta sauce, and there could be a lot of sauce left over in the dish when you are done.

Choose The Pasta Carefully And Get As Much Sauce As Possible

If you want an authentic Italian experience, you must enjoy the sauce as well. The shape of the pasta can have a tremendous impact on the amount of sauce you can scoop up with each bite. No matter how perfect the pasta is, there will probably be some sauce leftover. Therefore, you may want to grab some fresh Italian bread to soak up anything that might have been left behind.
