As far simply due to the fact the pasta goes, I used campanelle simply due to the fact I love it’s fun form and how the creamy sauce will get trapped in each little corner and cranny of the flower shape, but when you happen to desire to replace out a fusilli or cellentani (another favourite shape), really experience unfastened to do so.
