Any. But pappardelle is really good and rotini works too.

When used as an appetizer we like to do rice or mashed potatoes (I know, not pasta lol).

A rule I heard that works well for me:
Chunky sauce, chunky pasta.
Smooth sauce, smooth/long pasta.

So:
For meatballs, ragout sauce, chunks of olives or tomato or crumbled feta cheese etc. use spirals, shells, bow ties, etc (not using Italian names, I know them but I’m focusing on shape right now and want maximum clarity). The little ridges in the pasta help catch the sauce. Also, you can just spear/scoop stuff with your fork easily.

For smooth Alfredo sauce or slick sesame noodles, use linguini or fettuccini or spaghetti etc. This is fork-twirling time, no need to worry about also stabbing a meatball as it rolls away.
