are this interesting stuff I picked up at Cost Plus World Market a
couple months ago maybe, some whole wheat egg noodles from the co-op
(they're really good--not like the godawful ww spaghetti noodles), or
the rest of the bowties that I didn't use in the kasha varnishkes.
Right now, the egg knoodles are the leading candidate.

I gotta figure out how to use the pasta from CPWM. Ever see a butter
curl? These suckers look sort of like that only about 4 times larger:
on the verge of being a curled shell form, with ridges. When cooked, I
know they'll be good sized. I was musing about that the other night
with someone and thought that they might be nicely used in a baked

dish.

I like using rotelle (spiral-threaded?) pasta for my pesto sauce dish.
They hold lots more sauce than flat noodles and they're easy to capture
on a fork.

Just $0.02

Recap: Decidiing what kind of knoodles to pour the oxtail stew over,
these are my options:

IMO, anything gravy-like needs an egg noodle. I don't consider egg
noodles pasta though - different class, different uses. I only use egg
noodles for chicken and noodles or turkey and noodles (or beef and
noodles when we ate beef).

For baked dishes (and pesto) I use radiatore or the curls (campanelle
or torchio) or snails (lumaconi). For mac'n'cheese I like creste de
galli as well.

For red sauces, I use whatever I have on hand that seems interesting.

Ahem... why would you serve oxtail stew over noodles? It's stew, not
stroganoff!

Because that's how we like it. Rob more than me, though I love noodles.
As a child, it's how my mom fed 7-10 for every meal - starch extenders.

No one but - all others are cheap imitations.
I was well into my adult years before I learned that chili doesn't
usually contain macaroni elbows, too. Mom fed 7-10 for supper daily and
sometimes uses noodles to extend the dish for the crowd.

It's an alternate spelling. The 'k' is silent - like the 'k' in knife.

Here, this will help you with your command of English:

Reading

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble, but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough, through?
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?

Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead; it's said like bed, not bead;
For goodness sake, don't call it deed!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother.
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.

And here is not a match for there,
And dear and fear for bear and pear,
And then there's dose and rose and lose--
Just look them up--and goose and choose,
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go, then thwart and cart.
Come, come, I've hardly made a start.

A dreadful language? Why, man alive,
I'd learned to talk it when I was five.
And yet to read it, the more I tried,
I hadn't learned it at fifty-five.

I've just put a pic of these bad boys on my webpage if you want a look.

Generally speaking, I like thicker, chunkier sauces with the larger,
chunkier pasta shapes. Thinner, smoother sauces with the long narrow
shapes. So think in terms of what you like with, say, large penne.

One of the Google results was for a manufacturer from Puglia who claims
to have invented this lanterne shape. [ italianharvest.com ] It gave
a sausage and mushrooms tomato sauce recipe, which sounds like a good
match for it. -aem
