I am sure some will say yes, I like to use what I have on hand. That being said, a tube shape, such as ziti or penne do well with a thicker, hearty sauce - like in this penne broccoli recipe that contains both sauce, vegetables and cheese. Thinner sauces, such as our easy spaghetti recipe work well with thinner pasta strands. Flatter pasta strands like fettuccine are often paired with Alfredo sauce! At the end of the day, use what your family likes or what needs to be used in the pantry - noting that some pastas might cook faster than others.
