    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?

      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

      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
