      There’s no one perfect pasta shape, it depends on what you’re cooking. That’s why there’s so many shapes.

      But yes, I do want to see pasta forming civilization and fighting for the control of tomato sauce.

          Nothing against that. It’s actually quite nice to only use one kind of pasta since that way you don’t have a bunch of packets with a bit of pasta but not enough to cook.

          If I may suggest, I feel it is better to have two types of pasta at all times though. One long and one short, those are the ones which make the biggest difference; keep your mezze penne but maybe add in some spaghetti or linguine. Aglio olio e peperoncino is much better with long pasta, on the other hand something with larger chunks such as a pasta alla norma is generally better with short pasta.
