Italian pasta is just junk food before junk food was trendy. It’s always 90% made of carbohydrates in funny shapes with a side of sauce with bits of protein floating in it.
Replace wheat with corn and tomato soup with those nasty flavoured powder and you have Cheetos. Yep, I’m saying Italian pasta is the father of Cheetos, and grandpa of breakfast cereal.
I agree, and that’s why I buy that protein pasta with the pea and legume flours added in the mix. It’s loaded with vitamins & minerals, so you’re getting more than just carbs for dinner.
The best part is unlike that whole wheat and vegetable pasta crap, it tastes exactly the same to my taste buds as regular pasta. Only catch is that it’s about $1.25 more per package, but absolutely worth it for the extra nutrients.
Ok thats simply wrong. Imagine having bucatini or lasagna with oil and grated parm, or angel hair with a thick cheese sauce or radiatori with a chunky meat sauce.
Yes, there are tons of shapes that are better served by others for literally any application, such as bowties, or ones that are at best entirely interchangeable.
We could totally get away with like 10 shapes with no dish getting worse for it.
??? You’d just be eating chunks of chewy pasta if you used oil with low-surface area pasta, all the angel hair would stay together and the cheese sauce would just be on the outside, and the meat chunks wouldn’t be absorbed into the radiatori fins, just the thinnest layer oil/fat.
nope.
sauce is always on the outside of angel hair.
doesn’t matter with the radiatori.
it’s all the same shit….
the one one where it would matter a lot is lasagna…
but you could throw any pasta into a lasagna recipe and it would still be fine…

Change my mind.
So you’re saying breakfast cereal is the child of Cheetos… huh
Technically it could be also its nephew as long as it’s not Arizona. There it’s both child and nephew.
I wont change your mind good mam/sir, because I think you’re right!

Yeah, no, you can stay right where you are, no problem.
and pretending like different shapes are important is just so stupid

You’re technically right but catering for all the variations would cap at 20 shapes when we’re well above 200. Naming pasta is more like a hobby.

those pastas would all be fine with any of those sauces… in any combination

Exactly its either spirals or nothing! The one true pasta shape.
