It’s a cultural thing. For example my son spent a semester at University of Bologna and his roommates were culinary students from Tuscany. When he later saw me using BOTH garlic AND onion to make a spaghetti sauce, he treated me like a war criminal

I am not that versed on Italian food. My grandmother did not cook it. My mom (in New Orleans) knew a Sicilian related family that came from Chicago and would love to go over there to eat pasta as thats the only time she could get it.

Pasta is made a certain length so it can be twirled on a fork

I totally did not know that.

Interesting. I don't actually eat spaghetti at a restaurant. I am too messy.

it can be a messy dish especially if you get the Bucatini type....

Do you cut it home?

Do you cut it home?

Yes indeed. Now I am hungry.

After you cut it, how do you eat it? Scoop it up with a fork, a spoon? Frankly, I've never heard of anyone cutting spaghetti with a knife, except for their toddler.

Well I am a big baby. No I generally roll it up still.
