1. Angel Hair pasta are long, very thin and delicate strands of pasta. This delicate and light pasta calls for lighter-textured sauces. Compound butters or thin, creamy sauces work well, but chunky sauces can be too heavy.
2. Cannellono is a large tube-shaped pasta. Think supersized ziti with smooth sides. Its ideal for cheese or sauce stuffing because of its size. It'll often be filled then baked as a casserole.
3. Conchiglie are shell shaped portions of pasta that come in various sizes. Because of its shape, sauces will deliciously cause a bursts of flavor with every bite. Thick cheeses, creams and sauces go excellent with this type of pasta. Consider using it with soup recipes too!
