Everyone uses spaghetti with ragu a la bolognese and it's loving weird. Tagliatelle or fettucine are way loving better, they get more sauce and they just work better.

As for breaking the spaghetti, whatever, I ain't the spaghetti police, I just want people to use better pasta for better food.

Breaking spaghetti is for people in high chairs. Also, angel hair is the optimal noodle for spag and mballs.

This is a good list of pasta

I think I counted off about 35 kinds I have eaten at some point in my life.

They should just sell the spaghetti half length so that we don't have to break it and this doesn't happen

But seriously. I have never eaten broken spaghetti because no one in my family ever broke it like that before.

When I make spaghetti I just drop it in the pot. Even if half of it is sticking out of the water, I just use a pair of tongs to slowly bend it all down under the water and twirl it into the pot. It takes like 45 seconds to do, and then my spaghetti doesn’t look like it was prepared by a five-year-old from The Midwest.

I do it too who gives a gently caress? My favorite pasta shape is the little wheels. Or rigatoni. Or elbows. They all taste the same so do what you want!

a thought though, why not just buy shorter noodles? noodles come in so many shapes and sizes, you buy the long ones and then break them? just start with what you want

So spaghetti can be broken in half.

But do beans go in chili?

I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?

Insert the spaghetti into your urethra while flaccid, get hard and use that to snap the spaghetti in half.

It's a bulk discount if you buy one really long noodle and chop it into smaller pieces, don't ask me how it works

Is there a pasta that's like spaghetti but girthier and manlier, I feel emasculated eating thread thin tiny dicks. Maybe cannelloni?

lolling at the thought that pastas in different shapes are more "grown up." I regret to inform you that it is the same mass of carbs no matter the shape.

I don't bother with small round tube pasta's anymore

I just eat Lasagna sheets, one at a time, and eventually I will have eaten 12,742 km of them, the diameter of the world, and thats probably the largest tube type circle pasta.
