Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Dee-lish, Josiane!
I'm right there with the ice cream as comfort. I'd put bread on my short list as well.
But the pasta thing is less comfort to eat.. and more "comfort to make" .. as in: "How little work can I do to get by for THIS meal?"
Barry, I too love the shapes. But the DH loves plain ole #8 or above spaghetti. He says you can't call rotini (MY fav) spaghetti. You have to call it "pasta in red sause."
No matter to me, easy is easy!

I agree with DH in that each type of pasta is really a completely different type of food!
As for the bread, my top faves (in no particular order) are rye, 7- or 12-grain, and Wonder White.
Thanks for sharing, Kerch
