What is your best, ever, favorite Pasta?

[astrolab]

Ok.. I'm living outside Europe, from centuries, but time to time, I go back in Italy, where I was born, be involved in Hotel and Restaurant Business from so long, and have been is so many countries in all my life, gave me a taste of every cuisine I found, but still a dish, original from China and became part of Italian and many other Countries preferred food... and not just because I'm Italian, I chose as my first favorite main food the Queen Pasta, my number one is Lasagna, not vegetable but with mince meat(Ragu' sauce and besciamella) ( mince mixed veal is the best) and all of You? ...

I'm always too transfixed on curries and Chinese food and what not, I need to experiment more with Italian.

I plan on making my own pasta soon as it is pretty bloody simple and surely not too much bother... Won't be bothering with the pasta machine though, just roll and slice with a knife.

My favourite Italian TV chef is Antonio Carluccio. His way of cooking emphasises simplicity but good quality ingredients. He made a bolognese a couple of weeks a go on one I was watching (show it on Saturday Kitchen) and he hardly put anything in it, was just (I think): mince beef and pork, pulp tomatoes, tomato pure', and that was about it.... said you can put a tiny bit of garlic in it if you like it...

So yeah, I want his cookbook if you are stuck for getting me anything for my birthday
