Re: pasta
Is there expensive pasta? I'd rather buy a really good bread, and dip it in the sauce.G. Keenan wrote:I think you're just buying crappy cheap pasta.
Good point, but while I do like a good bread occasionally, I've never in my life craved pasta. Besides, the bread serves a purpose, to hold the sandwich together. Pasta doesn't do that, it just gets in the way of more meat and veggies on your plate.haltz wrote:I'm going to make a rant about bread because it's better with roast beef on it.

I ate broccoli, snow peas and carrots for lunch. They ended up not going into a pasta alfredo.G. Keenan wrote:You eat nothing but turkey legs don't you?JCShutout wrote:Is there expensive pasta?

EDIT: Upon further thought about my lunch, I also just hate food drenched in sauce.
I tried a pasta drenched in alfredo sauce today, almost gagged. Its why I don't like mac and cheese, too much cheese most of the time. I think I just don't like gooey sauces much. A lighter sauce is okay if it doesn't drown the rest of the food.
I don't like much salad dressing ether. I usually dip the salad in the dressing. Just want a hint of ranch with my salad, not a hint of salad with my ranch.

Re: pasta
I'm not so sure that a plate of pasta sauce is going to be as appetizing a nice place of spaghetti.

Re: pasta
I think a plate of red sauce spread lightly over meat and veggies is more appetizing than over noodles.cardinalkarp wrote:I'm not so sure that a plate of pasta sauce is going to be as appetizing a nice place of spaghetti.
To each his own, I'm just not a fan of noodles or too much sauce. Outside of spaghetti (where the key for me was the great meat sauce, heavy on the meat) and lasagna (we used thin layers of mushrooms instead of noodles), I never really ate it much growing up.

Re: pasta
I have already have meat, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and garlic in my pasta sauce so basically I'd just be eating a plate of sauce.I think a plate of red sauce spread lightly over meat and veggies is more appetizing than over noodles.
Oh well, to each their own. I just happen to like pasta.

Re: pasta
mmmm, then I'd dip a hard bread in it, and put more veggies in there to beef out the sauce.cardinalkarp wrote:I have already have meat, onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and garlic in my pasta sauce so basically I'd just be eating a plate of sauce.I think a plate of red sauce spread lightly over meat and veggies is more appetizing than over noodles.

You should try olives in the sauce. It goes well.
Yeah, I just don't like pasta... hence the rant.

Re: pasta
Do what I did in college. I was convinced I could make it on $1 through the week to have enough beer money for the weekend. I bought 10 boxes of generic Mac and Cheese for a grand total of $.90. 9 cents a box (1984 prices), no milk. Add water and serve.ThatGuy wrote:Mac and cheese rocks my world.
I made it, mac and cheese every day but to this day I've ruined myself.
