Ha, the Italian police lights
🤌
Every knows you have to turn up the heat inside the van until the noodles get soft enough to fold into the trunk.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh it hurts my heart cant take it all dam you… u need to heat the car first and THEN I said THEN through the spaghetti in … 😉 from Italy 🇮🇹
Extrapolate?
Italians get mad when you snap your pasta in half before cooking. The noodles are long for a reason.
Thank you for this comment, I didn’t get it and now feel dumb for not noticing the green, white, red police lights. That’s amazing.
I thought it was the Mexican flag. Doesn’t help that a lot of Mexican people do construction. I was confused too.
Hah, I thought he was loading lumber.
What’s the reason?
To make you snap them to fit the pot so Italians can get mad at you.
cool, but whats the reason?
To let you slurp them and spray sauce all over
When I get a plate of spaghetti the first thing I do is take my knife and fork and slice slice slice until the noodles are all short little bits that mix nicely with the sauce and are easy to pick up with the fork.
Fuck tradition, give me practicality.
You’re a monster. Why not just put them in the blender and chug your spaghetti?
But seriously though, I don’t get how it’s at all more practical - if you twirl the noodles you can get a nice bite of whatever size you want, and you don’t have to worry about it falling off your fork like you do if they’re short. You can get just the right amount of sauce bound up in the noodle bundle by pulling it in the sauce or outside it too
I’m not Italian and it has nothing to do with tradition - I must’ve been 4 when I yelled at my mom for snapping the noodles so they fit in the pot because they’d be less twirly… Literally the only influence on this was my grandma teaching me that Italians use a spoon to help twirl the noodles… I never got the spoon nonsense down, but by pulling the noodles up or dipping them in the sauce, you easily get the perfect mouthful of anything from buttered linguine to spaghetti and meatballs to noodles in white or red sauce that I’m not a big fan of
It’s just so much less pleasant from every angle when you break the noodles -texture, convenience, just plain fun factor
It’s not even much harder to cook, you take boiling water and you just push the noodles into it until they go under - as long as you wait for the water to boil first, it doesn’t take any more effort or longer

Easier to pick up, different feeling when eating.
I feel like you gotta spin the fork for days tho
they love to enforce their preferences onto others just because their ancestors did it first (or second if you count asia)
I’m not Italian and I’ll fight anyone who tries to make spaghetti by snapping the noodles in half.
why? u arent the one eating it. i have a small pot and dont wanna wait around for the pasta to go soft so i can bend it. also dont have to twirl the fork for 10s each time
Breaking it in half is the objectively better practice. Cooks faster and more evenly, doesn’t require ages to twist on a fork. Better in literally every way.
We don’t enforce our ideas it’s just that our old ancestors tryed everything and hardly found the best way to do it … we are just highly suggest it 😉 btw we would love everyone else to highly suggest a working economic politic
Much thanks. Joke compreheneds.
What? I’m italian and I do it every time i have to cook spaghetti
