A recent survey conducted by the OpinionWay institute for the Lustucru brand found that tagliatelle is the favorite pasta of 22% of French people surveyed, with 56% of them including it in their list of favorite pastas. Tagliatelle is particularly popular among women, while there was no significant difference based on age group. Spaghetti ranked closely behind tagliatelle as the favorite pasta for 18-24 year olds and those over 65, while shells were the third favorite pasta overall. Farfalle and twists were mentioned by 15% of the sample, followed by noodles and macaroni.
