You have to cook the spaghetti while the sauce simmers on the side. Once the spaghetti are ready you drop them in the pan where the sauce is simmering and you let them go in there for a little while. For some reason this trick does wonders for the pasta/sauce ratio

Typical Italian recipe. No wonder these people never conquered the heights of intellect. I do this all the time including adding the pasta water. It always tastes like crap. Not sure the crap is in the nature of your recipe or in the nature of the food itself.

You add the pasta water if you have a very thick sauce (pesto, for example), surely not tomato sauce. Also, do you make your spaghetti al dente? Otherwise, of course, they taste like crap!

Sorry to say but you guys are way behind the Chinese noodles. That's what happens to a civilization when it becomes culinary idle.

It's the opposite. Chinese noodles are hard to screw up - the hard work was done already, and you can throw in all the vegetables and meat you want. Anyone can do that. But you will spend the rest of your life chasing the perfect pasta aglio e olio.

That's objectively very true!
@thenanim mastered the art of pasta with cime di rapa, a recipe which puts to shame any other form of pasta, let alone noodles...3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -
You just can't compare the two. Italian pasta is made with durum wheat and has an entirely different consistency than Chinese noodles.

Isn't it like saying that Japanese rice is very different from Basmati. Sure, but they are all rice. You have to say under such and conditions this rice differs or converges upon or from that rice.

I disagree. They are *more* different, or at least can be. Asian noodles are more like a basis, they form the center for the sauce, meat and vegetables. For pasta, the noodles are the center. Everything else is to complement them.

you really don't know anything about the dialectical history of culinary materialism. Why am I your friend?

You're my friend because have an unusual and unexpected connection through Crawl. That's a bond that can never be broken. It's an eternal brotherhood, and has mostly been characterized by fratricide.
