I voted for shells, but only because my real answer is somewhat cheating. Tortellini is my favorite pasta, but of course the shape of the noodle itself is only a small part of the appeal.

Fusilli is my favorite with farfalle as a close second.
Candied sweet potatoes? Is that sweet potatoes with a caramel coating or something similar?AccursedTheory said:
Basically just sweet potatoes, roasted/boiled/sauted to softness, then thrown in a pan with melted butter and sugar to finish.-Dragmire- said:
That sounds far better than the image I had in my head!AccursedTheory said:Basically just sweet potatoes, roasted/boiled/sauted to softness, then thrown in a pan with melted butter and sugar to finish.-Dragmire- said:
I was thinking of a sweet potato version of a candy apple.
I have to go with Spaghetti because the noodle itself lends itself well to being drowned in delicious sauce and integrating meat into a mouthful. Mmmmmmm! 
I'm going to have to go with penne, although tagliatelle is also a good contender.
Penne got the ease of cooking compared to spaghetti since the tubes are short. Unlike penne it's lighter in texture, while fusilli is kinda dense. Lasagne is good for its use, but it's not as easy to fit into dishes as penne. Conchiglie and farfalle just seem bothersome as the sauce doesn't really get that much contact with the entire surface. They both look fancy though so that's a bonus.

spaghetti or death! if spagretti unavalable spirals will suffice. but ive been eating spaghetti so much i kinda forgot how to eat others by now. The manufacturer matters A LOT though due to different tastes. I kinda ended up buying imported ones from Italy because they taste 10 times better than those from local pasta factories here. Ricosa is the manufacturer, best pasta ive ever eaten.
