Re: How Many Kinds of Pasta Do You Have on Hand NOW?

Wow @Sooner: that's a lotta pasta!

I love my pasta, but I am low carb, so I think just 4: linguini, penne, bow tie and pastina.

Might be a box of orzo in there, too.

Re: How Many Kinds of Pasta Do You Have on Hand NOW?

I know I have to have spaghetti, lasagna, and flat all the time for quick soups and meals.  Then it's should I keep elbow, ziti, or rotini?  In the summer I HAVE to have shells for tuna salad.  

 

Suggestions?  LOL!!!

@queendiva  We are sort of thinking alike!  All but bow tie--I figured out today I really don't like them.  They don't cook evenly and are too chewy in the middle for me.  (Husbands likes come in marginally here.  He never met a carb he didn't like!)

1/2 box lasagne, 1/2 box elbows.  Sack of potatoes and lots of rice.  Always there when I need them!

 

I would be embarrassed to tell you about my stash of jar candles and liquid hand soap.

Re: How Many Kinds of Pasta Do You Have on Hand NOW?

I pretty have the same pasta list as the OP and I am gluten free, so I have gluten free penna and linguine too.

 

I am Italian and use different shapes of pasta for different dishes.  Some are used in soup, some are mixed with vegetables, same in salads and some are for a main meal.

 

I have a huge well stocked panty.  

 

I recently donated at least 100 boxes of jello...maybe more.  I very seldom make or use jello.  I have no idea how I got so much.  I must have a Gremlin.

I have a pasta salad obsession, so I always have penne, rotini, cavatappi, farfalle, and/or elbows on hand, and we also enjoy mac 'n' cheese (a bit more than we should), so we keep plenty of cavatappi and shells for that purpose. In addition, fettucine and spaghetti are pantry staples for those nights when a quick alfredo or carbonara is in order. Until tonight, I also have a bag of wide egg noodles; it will become part of a tasty turkey soup.
