    Follow up pro tip: only do this if you want war with Italy. Every time someone breaks a spaghetto, an Italian person dies.

      My favorite grocery store sells “pot-ready spaghetti noodles” which are half the length of normal ones. I think Italy’s declaration of war is a foregone conclusion at this point

        I mean, who decided that spaghetti noodles had to be that long anyway? What if I go to Italy and start selling spaghetti noodles that are 2m long? When will they admit that its fin to snappa the spaghetta?

          It’s harder to pick up broken or shorter spaghetti with a fork. If you break them up real small and make chicken noodle soup that you eat with a spoon - that’s fine. Italians do that as well.

        Protip, you can cook regular spaghetti noodles in a big pan. You only need enough water to cover the noodles and it’s way faster than boiling a lake’s worth of water in a pot and doing the whole “try to fold the pasta into the water as fast as possible so it cooks evenly” dance.

          You can leave them full length with only a third of the length in the water, they quickly soften and slump and the rest can be immersed

        Did you know they don’t eat garlic bread in Italy?

        Ergo, “Italian Food” in America is better than food in Italy. They have to take us out as a matter of self defense

      My wife showed me the Instagram page of an American woman who was married to an Italian guy. She would fuck with him for content. The one where she breaks spaghetti in half before throwing it into the water is hilarious, he flips his shit

      What if after it’s cooked you just cut it up with scissors?
