To me, the breaking of spaghetti is just a thing smug snobs like to use as a call out to make others feel less than.

If someone breaks pasta noodles, who fucking cares? It tastes the same!

I’ve been cooking homemade from scratch pastas for over 30 years. I break the spaghetti if I feel like the dish needs shorter noodles. So no, I know exactly what I’m doing and I don’t need your help.

Ffs… thinking a dish is “ruined” because someone Broke the spaghetti. LMAO!

Fuck the pasta police!

I rarely make homemade anymore and can easily twirl my long noodles without a spoon (wøōp), but don't give a crap how others enjoy their pasta. So long as those sweet carbs make it in the word hole, all is good.

I couldn't care less what type of noodles I'm eating in an Italian dish. I care more about the sauce and protein.

Think you meant "couldn't care less"

[–] Mrselfdestruct25@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks. Fixed.

Exactly! Thank you! Same here. The shape/length of the noodle is entirely irrelevant to the dish, unless it’s a specific thickness of sauce, because then you’d base the pasta noodle on wether or not it can hold the sauce.
