Pasta Consumption

My curiosity was aroused by a random pasta post just recently. As I mentioned there, Venezuelans are huge pasta consumers. Not only are there hundreds of Italian restaurants here, but you'll also find local restaurants offering pasta dishes. The more creative, the better. However, I just wondered whether, in other climes, folks stuck to the tried and tested, or branched out a bit. So in the past few months, what pastas have you eaten or prepared? Lasagna, Mac n Cheese, Spaghetti Bolognese, Fettucine Alfredo; or have you gone for the Italian classics like Carbonara, Cacio e Pepe, Arrabiata, Amtriciana, Aglio e Olio?

Before MrsT went on WeightWatchers, we’d eat pasta usually twice a week. We wouldn’t branch out much, though. It was usually either linguine with different things mixed in (maybe olives and cherry tomatoes one time, broccoli and diced ham another time), spaghetti and red sauce, buttered egg noodles as a side, and something like lasagna or baked penne/ziti now and again. Now, though, we might have pasta once every six weeks or so.
