Farfalle
The term 'farfalle' means butterfly in Italy. Farfalle is also called 'bow tie pasta' because of its shape. This versatile pasta works great with light base (olive oil, butter) as well as rich sauces (cream, tomato, pesto), and can taste great in salads. It can be used as dressing for your bowl of stir-fried veggies/meat.
3/7
Macaroni
From being one of the main ingredients in America's Mac and Cheese, Macaroni experienced a complete overhaul in India. Macaroni - shaped like small, bent, narrow tubes - became India's favourite comfort food with a twist. The pasta cooks easily and tastes amazing with cheese and tomato sauces. Imagine the tiny tube filled with your favourite sauce every time you take a bite.

Penne
Penne is derived from the Latin word 'penna', and the plural form of Italian word penna. Two-inch long, cylinder-shaped penne does the same magic as macaroni. However, when perparing penne, ensure you use more sauces and less chunky vegetables/meat pieces so that the sauce can enter the tube easily.

Fusilli
Fusilli come in small to medium sizes of loosely-wound, spiral shapes. This coil-shaped pasta tastes great when baked, and can be used with cream as well as tomato sauces.

Spaghetti
Alfredo, Pesto, Marinara - pick your favourite. This cylindrical, long pasta goes will all the sauces you can think of. It's texture blends well with the sauces to give you a satisfying experience.
7/7
Tagliatelle
Tagliatelle is flat and long, just like Fettuccine (but narrower). You will get this coiled or straight in stores. While lighter base with oil & garlic (with choice of seafood) works the best for this pasta, its thick texture can hold heavier sauces as well.
