Human: What are some easy pastas I can make?

Assistant: The first thing to know is that different types of pasta are appropriate for different types of sauces.  The "oven-ready" variety of pasta tends to be useful when sauce-based cooking, and also tends to be more flavorful when you’re trying to create a distinct flavor base.  If you're wanting to make a more traditional sauce, then it’s usually recommended to start with a "penne" or "ziti" pasta.  However, if you want to make a more Mediterranean or Mexican-inspired sauce, then the best option would be a "spaghetti" type of pasta.  In general, the long, spaghetti-like pasta works best for tomato-based sauces, while the thicker, heartier penne is better for cream-based pasta sauces.
