Best type of noodle for mac and cheese?

Edited to add: I had no idea this beautiful pasta known as cavatappi existed and is quite literally Italian for corkscrew 
Rotini AKA corkscrews are best because of the balanced surface coverage you get of cheese sauce to pasta.
Elbow and shells are great but too much cheese sauce can get caught in them, same problem with penne/ziti.

It is less about the noodle and more about the cheese. Cheese can be multiple types and layered, and then the top gets a slight crunch on the cheese or add breadcrumbs. Yum

Did you just say too much cheese sauce gets into a noodle? And that is a problem? 
Extra cheese is rarely ever a problem. I like any smallish pasta with a curl and/or tube to it.

Cavatappi gives you the spiral and the tube with a ridged exterior for maximum surface area.

As a chef who has cooked professionally for 38 years, I can say with certainty that the traditional pasta in macaroni and cheese is elbow macaroni. That said, the main difference between the various pastas is the different shapes. They all should taste about the same. Unless you’re a 3 year old that only likes macaroni, except when he eats spaghetti or lasagna

Cavatappi is essentially elbow macaroni that is an overachiever and likes the attention

Hahaha, I love extra cheese sauce, but I’m personally a fan of it being evenly distributed. Totally see the benefit of cheesy surprises throughout too.

Shells hold more cheese. That’s a good thing.
