I think we found the platonic ideal audience for deconstructed food.

If I wasn't lazy and poor I would make a deconstructed pizza for this thread. Disc of dough from the oven, served with a glass of tomato sauce and a plate of toppings carefully separated into their own sections.

Pasta pre-mixed in with the sauce is easier to grab out of the Tupperware at 2am and eat cold too, so there's that.

That's the point, the pasta sauce is the main event, the pasta itself is just there to carry the sauce. So keeping them separate in the name of some principle that people should be able to mix their own food is asinine.

Then perhaps I should rephrase, you don't just eat a bowl of pasta on its own? Which is the other thing I occasionally like to do? It's like chewy bread it's nice.

The other day I tried to make chicken fettucini alfredo and overcooked the pasta by like 8 minutes because I briefly fell asleep (passed out). If you want anti-food porn, just make that. I never had pasta that overcooked, it was like eating mushy paste.

I've had very good freshly made pasta that was great with a minimal amount of sauce. That's pretty normal in Italy, they typically don't use as much as Italian-American pasta does. Entirely sauceless I have never seen. And I'm guessing you're not making it fresh.

The idea is to get the ratio right so that there's enough sauce to cover all the noodles but not enough that it's overkill. I guess what it comes down to is that some people are extremely picky eaters and aren't capable of just letting someone prepare a meal for them(which is why they can't find much to eat at restaurants). If someone's making you pasta just go with it and enjoy it the way they make it, would that be so terrible?

You're(or someone was) the one saying that the chef should not mix the noodles and sauce for fear that the person eating it will be offended that they weren't allowed to mix in the exact amount of sauce they want.

OwlFancier posted:Is that not boiled pasta with sauce placed on top of it? I'm saying that both ways are perfectly acceptable, if someone pre-mixes the sauce in that's cool, if they don't that's cool too. This idea that you're somehow insulting the guest by not allowing them to choose their own amount of sauce is dumb.

But I wouldn't really enjoy it, and being "picky" as in disliking a certain food, is hardly a choice. I had angel hair pasta for lunch today with a little olive oil, salt, garlic, and parmesan.

I mean, yea I'm starting from the premise that the person I'm serving actually likes the type of sauce I'm making. It would be good to determine that beforehand if possible. But once you get into how much sauce you're putting on each plate I think we're getting into picky territory. Just give me some pasta and some sauce and I'm happy.

I totally love "un-topped" spaghetti, and when I make it, I eat about 3 or 4 forkfuls to "test it". A 100 yo Italian restaurant my wife and I go to has spaghetti with just olive oil, and a fuckton of garlic. It's amazing, and my absolute favorite. I do put cheese on it though.
