fettuccine or spaghetti

[just that pc guy]

every pasta lover has to choose between 2 extremes, mans greatest question, fettuccine or spaghetti who will win, wich is better

[Fasauceome]

Fettucine is superior, and all its cousins, such as Linguine. You wouldn't want Spaghetti or even angel hair in your pasta carbonara would you? of course not.

Fettucine every single time

Spaghetti without question. Aside from the fact that I'm not a big fan of Alfredo sauce (typical pairing for the Fettuccine noodle), the noodle itself is just too thick and too wide, leaving a non-optimal noodle to sauce ratio.

 

Spaghetti nails that middle ground. It's not too thin, and not too thick. It's also symmetrical. And to top it off, spaghetti sauce (tomato based sauce) is just fantastic.

Penne is fantastic, and is actually probably my favourite noodle. I make a killer baked chicken penne using a Rose sauce and a ridiculous amount of cheese.

Feefettuccine with Parmesan sauce and broccoli is probably the best food in existence

Why not both?

If I had to choose one, definitely spaghetti without a doubt. Rigatoni still reigns supreme though  

[Blasteque]

This is clearly a false dichotomy.  There are times when fettuccine is called for; other times spaghetti is the right choice.

fettuccine any day, but it does kinda depend on what pasta

[Skanky Sylveon]

Burgers.

It's not a real question imo, in Italy you eat them depending on the recipe you want to make

 

For example a carbonara MUST go with spaghetti, who would eat a carbonara with fettuccine? (please don't tell me you do)

 

I would definitely eat a boar meat ragù with fettuccine or again, another example mushrooms and cream definitely goes better with fettuccine

 

 

I mean, there are literally too many kinds of pasta used differently and someone who knows them just starts to prefer an entire recipe rather than the specific type of pasta itself

Rigattoni can suck it. It's not even food. It's a tapas at best.

All pasta is good. I never saw it as a competition. Ravioli is the most fun to make by far though

No, I would not. However, with a red sauce on the chunkier side, spaghetti any day.

 

And for stir fry, angel hair can be great mixed with spaghetti (put away your pitchforks and torches, it's delicious. Try it.).

 

I do love how chewy fettuccine can be... So both. I choose both. Or all three. However you count.

I'd have to agree with you though, it is more or less like tapas.

It isn't particularly filling however a decently sized bowl of it will get me through the day with no problems.

How about the Asian Original??

[Mutoh]

It really depends on the sauce if you are going to do it proper. You dont want a heavy eggy pasta with creamy sauces, things like spaghetti work with creamy and oil based sauces, shells can be stuffed or used in soups, wide and flat noodles are good for heavier sauces...

 

 

 

Otherwise it doesnt matter.

It’s the only noodle you can stab with a fork & isn’t some ridiculous string that is impossible to eat politely. 

[Ithanul]

Myself, I eat all the pastas in any form and mixture.  I'm the type that throws green sweet peas and tuna with cheese on some.

 

Also, fettuccine carbonara exist: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/42585/fettuccini-carbonara/

It is tasty.

spaghetti because I can make it from whatever garbage I have left and some tomato sauce.
