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

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.

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?

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

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

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

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!
