When Brisbane born DJ and producer Young Franco isn't dropping bangin' beats on the dancefloor, you'll most often than not find him digging into a big ol' bowl of carby goodness gifted by the gods of Italy themselves aka pasta. We chatted to Young Franco ahead of his Australian Tour to get the dirt on his top five go-to pasta styles. Check out his selections below.

Words by Joey Da Rin aka Young Franco

I love Pasta! It has a very close place in my heart. Dad's side of the family is Italian so it's been a staple my whole life.

Rigatoni

Holds sauce really well with its ridges and big centre.

Pairing suggestion: Can't go past it for a creamy recipe.

Linguine

Linguine has to be my 2nd favourite!

Pairing suggestion: I make pesto reasonably often and it's so good with it, or maybe white wine & clams??

Pappardelle

My Favourite, the goat (the greatest of all time for those playing at home). This is my favourite to make too.

Pairing suggestion: So good with a ragu or a hearty meat sauce. But also great for seafood.
