I always keep different pasta on hand. You can always whip up a quick dinner using different kinds of pasta.
I use penne to make a chicken with asparagus and peas in Alfredo sauce, rigatoni with hamburger and easy marinara, bow ties is perfect in homemade chicken noodle soup and of course good olé spaghetti.
I think you like to cook a bit more than me. I could have this pasta in the pantry but would have to go to the store and buy the rest of the ingredients.
