Angel hair pasta
Angel hair makes a somewhat surprising appearance at #3… Apparently, more people than expected eat this “skinny” version of spaghetti. Traditionally, this long, thin noodle is eaten with oil-based sauces (i.e. pesto) or a light tomato sauce.Source: Irina Marwan / Moment / Getty Images
Elbow Macaroni Pasta
Often eaten baked or in soup, macaroni is the most popular “tube” style pasta, landing at #4 overall. Butter, milk, cheese & cream-based sauces are ideal for macaroni. Source: Xvision / Moment / Getty Images
Fusilli
Also known as “corkscrew” pasta, fusilli is thick-bodies, with elongated spirals. Fusilli is popular in part because of its ability to absorb various sauces.Source: Juhari Muhade / Moment / Getty Images
Honourable Mention: Penne
Penne fell under number 7 on the top 10 list of most popular pastas… Can you imagine?! We really expected these small, cylinder shaped noodles to be higher up. This pasta type is often used to make salads.Source: Kivoart / E+/ Getty Images
Honourable Mention: Lasagna
The timeless classic lasagna came in at… Drumroll… #10! Can you believe that? We’re floored that angel hair made the top 5, while lasagna came this far down the list. That doesn’t stop the large, rectangular pasta to remain one of our favourites, though!Source: Boblin / E+ / Getty Images
