My favorite pasta shape would probably be penne or fusilli. I like to keep it simple :)

What's your favorite pasta shape?
 
Rigatoni or tortiglioni for pasta bakes, but I do prefer noodle types like fettuccine, pappardelle or linguine. It depends on the sauce whether it is a tomato, cream or oil sauce. Quality counts and whether it's over cooked versus the shape of the pasta though. I'd rather have a small bowl of well cooked pasta than a large bowl of my favorite pasta shape. I had some mushed up penne once and it put me off penne for a while.
 
I prefer Tagliateele but it all depends on the dish that you are making.

My mother inlaw makes fresh orecchiette and can't get enough of this pasta when i'm in Puglia.

I love taglietelle as well, especially with a cheese sauce or with some pesto.
