pasta

Post by JCShutout »

I don't get it. Its only good if the sauce is good... so why don't use just eat the sauce over veggies and/or meat?

As a filler food, brown rice and potatoes atleast have SOME nutritional value.

Note: I made pasta for lunch today trying to stretch my budget. Yuck!

Note2: Mac and Cheese is nasty. Deal with it.

Good pasta is good in it's own right. Plus, if it's nutrition that bothers you you can get fancy with whole grain pastas that are pretty good actually.

a little butter and parmesan cheese.. i think it's very good..

but i'm poor white trash.. so .. take it for what's it's worth..

If its delicious then why does it taste bad? When my mom used to make spaghetti, I would enjoy the meat sauce a lot, but the noodels were like taste road blocks. My step dad makes GREAT spaghetti and meat balls... so basically the sauce and meatballs were good and the pasta was okay if you smothered it in enough sauce and meat.

How do "good" plain starchy noodles differ from, "bad" plain starchy noodles?

I think you're just buying crappy cheap pasta.

I'm going to make a rant about bread because it's better with roast beef on it.
