Post by Rod Wood - As a long time pasta fan, I know it can be confusing when buying the right shape pasta at the supermarket. It's not easy doing the shopping when you're the only non-Italian in your household. But I've finally found an excellent guide in this month's issue of Consumer Reports ShopSmart. It tells you how to pick the best shape pasta for whatever sauce you're making
 
The sauce:Marinara
Best pasta:Capellini
 
The sauce: Classic garden vegetable
Best pasta partner:Fusilli
 
The sauce: Puttanesca
Best pasta partner: Spaghetti
 
The sauce: Bolognese
Best pasta partner: Rigatoni
 
The sauce: Pesto
Best pasta partner: Linguine
 
The sauce: Alfredo
Best past partner: Fettuccine
 
My favorite sauce is my wife's and she says it's a secret recipe.
Perhaps you have some advice you'd like to add? Feel free to pass it along to me.
