DH and DS favor mac&cheese with 3 cheeses, cream as needed, shells or macaroni interchangably. And they like alfredo chicken or shrimp on special days over medium to wide egg noodles.
If I had a choice since I don't eat much pasta, I'd choose pasta primavera, so delicate spring vegetables in a cream sauce with some kind of pasta substitute, possibly zucchini or eggplant.
