Lasagne - I got layers.

[โ€“] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Orzo. I always tried to be like someone I'm not. Now I'm neither rice nor pasta.

[โ€“] Thavron@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago

Or gnocchi!

[โ€“] eezeebee@lemmy.ca 20 points 5 months ago

Macaroni because I'm hollow inside, and unlike penne, have no point

Linguine. You're expecting some strong, has-it-together fettuccine, but instead I'm a plateful that can barely hold it together and is trying to play pretend at being one of the better pastas.

Is that a local delicacy?

[โ€“] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 14 points 5 months ago

Spaghetti, because Im lanky, and annoying to handle when Im cooked

[โ€“] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 13 points 5 months ago

Fusilli, because I'm screwed

[โ€“] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 13 points 5 months ago

I will block out the sun with my lasagne body! All will fear me! All will obey me!

[โ€“] speederpotpie@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Copypasta, nothing more I want to be than a long overused block of text that clogs up threads all over the net.

I am also partial to shell pasta.

If Lemmy has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Lemmy has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Lemmy has only one fan then that is me. If Lemmy has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Lemmy, then I am against the world.

Wagon Wheel. Not because it's a good pasta. But because it's most likely to survive in the back of a pantry. Little to no sauce retention. Wagon wheel, for survival.

[โ€“] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Little to no sauce retention

that's why you eat it with a spoon
RIP

[โ€“] Vej@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Fusilli, I'm cork-y like that and rather silly.

[โ€“] eth0slash0@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

It's Fusilli Jerry.

[โ€“] themusicman@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Shells. Because I'm less likely to get eaten.

Seriously though. Fuck shell pasta where they all stick together

[โ€“] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

Fantastic for seafood dishes

Macaroni because I have an unhealthy obsession with cheese.

[โ€“] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

My brother in Fusilli!

[โ€“] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 months ago

I'd love to say campanelle, because I'm fun and stuff.

I'm a gnocchi, because I'm potato.

Homemade ricotta gnocchi, because I'm rare and not from around here.

[โ€“] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

I would be mushroom bowtie farfalle (which I enjoy often) because I'm always just out of reach, even to myself.

[โ€“] RBWells@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

I wish to be spaghetti but at the moment am feeling more like penne.

[โ€“] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Macaroni, but only with cheese.

This is so that I can become ouroboros and infinitely devour myself

[โ€“] whygohomie@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

An impasta because I'm a human bean.

[โ€“] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 5 points 5 months ago

Tri-color Rotini, since my color would be the first thing people noticed around all the other pasta.

[โ€“] Corno@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Bow tie pasta/Farfalle cuz I'm goofy

(I used to love eating those raw when I was little, how my teeth weren't affected is something for an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.)

[โ€“] Thavron@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Orichiette. Cause they're like little bowls of sauce on their own. Each one of them a tiny flavour universe.

[โ€“] Akasazh@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago

I'm all ears

Good choice...

[โ€“] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago

Mafaldine because I look cute with little ruffles and there's nothing remotely straight about me

[โ€“] otarik@feddit.it 3 points 5 months ago

a sad lasagne: used in pretty much a single dish; it is the least enjoyable part of the said dish; it can very easily be substituted for, don't know, eggplants

[โ€“] onlooker@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Any, really. As long as I can use my noodle.

[โ€“] averyminya@beehaw.org 2 points 5 months ago

I'd want to be a spaghetti but I'd probably be a penne.
