Pasta us the star of the dish, not the sauce. Best pasta to buy?

The thread about Rao's pasta sauce got me thinking, why are people so OCD about the sauce? I don't think Italians even have the marinara, not the way we have it here. Yet nobody mentioned which pasta to use with that delish sauce. I tried Rao's pasta, thanks thread, and loved it.
Which store-bought pasta is the best, in your opinion? Thanks! |

| Every Italian I know likes Barilla so that’s what I use. |

| If pasta is the star, you should make homemade. |

| At grocery store I get barilla. But Costco has an Italian import organic pasta I really like. And world market has some really nice ones from Italy including shapes that are now hard to find here but that work well with certain types of sauces. For something like a basics marinara, you probably just want a basic spaghetti or penne though. Maybe like a cavatappi if you want to be fancy. |

It really depends on the recipe as to whether dried or fresh is better. |

I should, but I don't feel like it. And I work a ton. |

OP asks for the best store-bought pasta, and is criticized for not making pasta, probably should have her own ancient grain wheat field and chickens for eggs too? And a pure mountain water creek for water and her own supply of fresh salt that she scoops out of the sea herself? |

OP here. I almost bought it but it says bronze cut, I think? Do I want a bronze cut, I can't remember which cut was recommended on some show. |

Thank you for all the info! Costco, you say? I will look for. I usually eat it with bolognese. |
