As an American who just had some glorious fake pizza last night, I thought I hated pasta until I had good Italian, and then I realized I just hate Americanized Italian food. Except pizza, we do it better.

Pasta still isn't my favorite, but I'll take it if it's authentic. My SO makes some great aglio e olio and carbonara, often with shrimp.

Wait can you explain the difference between Americanized pasta and Italian pasta? Isn't all pasta just... pasta?

Most likely the difference between handmade pasta and dried pasta but that's not a geographical thing

But Italians eat dried pasta… lots of it.
