41. I don't really use sauce anymore. At my house we cook up veggies like onions, olives, zucchini, squash, and sometimes sliced tomatoes, and then cook the pasta and throw it all together. 42. I do agree but lets not be like the French and tell people how to eat something. Italian cooking has always been, make it the way you like it, eat it the way you want too. 43. Now we have rules for eating pasta? How about some common sense.....if you like more sauce....add more sauce.........and ..........maybe drink a white wine with it.........damn the food police! 44. - Cook pasta to just short of al dente texture. 45. Beef/ Italian sausage, pesto, tomato sauce about 1/3 more than pasta with Romano cheese liberaly sprinkled on top. Italian bread to clean my plate. 46. Coming from an Italian-American family, I am sure we have strayed from the more traditional ways of enjoying pasta. As a child I found that I like to enjoy my pasta three ways at a meal: First I want to taste the pasta so I have a small plate of pasta all by itself. It has a unique flavor which I very much enjoy. Next, being a cheese lover, I add some cheese without sauce. This brings out a second side to the flavour of the meal. Lastly, I drench the pasta in my mother's secret receipe for red sauce. If you haven't tried your pasta by itself or with just a sprinkle of good Parmesan, I suggest you try it and enjoy. 47. I grew up in NY-NJ, and although I'm not Italian ALL my friends were & we were Italian by osmosis. I have NEVER known anyone who made a sandwich out of the pasta & garlic bread. Ate it together, yes. Maybe as a leftover shovel-it-in-your mouth quickie, OK. But as a way to treat a plate of pasta? Baccala! #19's answer is music - now THAT'S Italian!! You have to have that heart to talk Italian food. 48. Growing up I always called it Gravy, my mom's recipe with lots of sausage, meatballs and chuck ribs Sauce is watery stuff from the jar - had alot of sauce vs gravy debates with my friends - in fun, of course but calling it sauce still makes me cringe :) 49. I grew up in NY-NJ, and although I'm not Italian ALL my friends were & I was Italian by osmosis. Many meals in their homes + 1 aunt by marriage who was Italian. My cousin Ed & I used to have competitions to see who could make the best "gravy." I have NEVER known anyone who made a sandwich out of the pasta & garlic bread. Ate it together, yes. 50. Ive been making gravy every sunday for many years. My way is not meat sauce, I make meatballs sausage and a piece of some kind of pork, and cook it that way, with no paste. Its the best . everytime theres a family get together Im elected to make the gravy and everyone loves it. And we use alot on top of the macaroni or spaghetti and lots of grated cheese. No vegetables. 51. In Italy they use much less sauce. It is especially flavorful though and you don't feel as if it needs more. You can actually taste the past too. 52. lol cant we all just eat pasta as we like it. I always use much more sauce than pasta too but everyone to their own taste. 53. In our Non-Italian house, when we make spaghetti, we mix the sauce with the pasta, then put it on a plate. It always seemed to streth further that way...and we NEVER had meatballs...just ground beef cooked and added into the sauce. Mmmmm!!! 54. Put as much saucfe as you want. There is no right and wrong way 55. Some day a little sauce, some days more, some days alot. 56. I put very little sauce on mines. Almost none. I like the noodles more than the sauce! LOL! The sauce just helps it go down easier. 57. I am an amateur, but somewhat proficient, cook. Love cooking pasta of all types. For me, the amount of sauce depends upon the type of sauce, the type of pasta, and the perceived tastes of my guests. 58. It depends on the type of sauce and the type of pasta,and how much common food sense you have. 59. Well, it's my sauce and my gut, so as long as I don't have a fat butt, I'll eat it the way I want. ;) 60. I love Italian food and Italian women (not necessarily in that order). Almost all of the dozens of Italian (American) women I have dated put the Pasta in front of the Sauce. In their families it is the PASTA that is the dinner - not the sauce. |
