Does shape matter?

[Yorky]

I always consider the shape & sauce combo and I loathe spaghetti bolognese. I always serve my bolognese sauce with shells/conchiglie. I use spaghetti for pesto pasta or just garlic, cheese & oil.

I tend to avoid spaghetti. I find it difficult to eat. As a kid I liked Heinz spaghetti (I knew of no other) but always spread the sauce everywhere when "sucking" it up. I believe that I'd grown out of it before the arrival of spaghetti hoops.

I tend to stick with fusilli as it's one pasta that is readily available ....

... although I have come across regati and penne and I occasionally open a tin of Branston's ravioli.

I imagine any self-respecting Italian would probably lobby their government to declare war on such an aberration.
But I was brought up on it, too... I sometimes yearn for ravioli on toast...
