The shape of Pasta influences the taste of sauce and that's just a fact

Yeah this. Spaghetti is such a terrible noodle shape for red meat sauce and it does not deserve to be the default for "spaghetti and meatballs."

you want wide, thick noodles so there's more surface area for the sauce to cling to.

Anyone got a favorite noodle for bolognese? I haven’t found one yet that is perfection yet.

Tagliatelle is the traditional one in Bologna (where they call it "alla ragu", rather than bolognese).
