Spaghettini
Dried durum wheat pasta, thinner than spaghetti. The thin strand has more surface for each gram, so it suits a thin, glossy sauce that coats rather than a heavy one. Cook it 1 min short and finish it in the sauce. The starch on the surface and the starch in the pasta water help the sauce hold to the strand.
