The longer the noodles are the easier it is to wrap around your fork in the traditional way of eating spaghetti. I agree...do not break the noodles before cooking! LOL! Love it!
Here is the answer. It is made long for a reason .The reason, as Val said, is that as you wrap it around the fork you gather up the sauce. The shape of pasta is all about how it interacts with the sauce. Capire?🤷🏻♀️
lololololol. I'm gonna duck as I write this .... I have to break mine. I love it small and broken when using boxed noodles. Homemade I'll make all shapes. Boxed though (still ducking), I gotsssssta break.
Matthew sent this to me with quite a few laugh emoji, meaning he knew why it was funny. I really had no idea how many people break the pasta. On a scale of 1-10 it fall at zero in importance, but I will never break the pasta, Boud!
Why?
ReplyDeleteVal got it right, Lori!
DeleteI agree, Lori. That requires further explication. 🤔
ReplyDeleteIt's long for a reason, to gather up the sauce as you twirl iy around the fork, AC.
DeleteYeah....I don't get the taboo on breaking pasta - I guess not being Italian may leave me out of the know!

DeleteMy question is....why break the pasta? This inquiring mind wants yo know.
ReplyDeleteI break it because I hate feeding the long strands into the boiling water, slow, hazardous.

DeleteI break it all the time, then on my plate I chop it even smaller:) However we do not eat much pasta:)
ReplyDeleteI won't ask why.
DeleteYeah, I like the spaghetti long, but there is one recipe where we break it up. Having said that, I do not remember anything about that recipe. 🤓
ReplyDeleteBut it works, right, AC!
