Cardboard. in The Napkin.

And another thing I missed the assembly on: spaghetti. I don’t know how to eat it. I try the twirl method, and I either get too much or too little. I’ve also been told it’s rude to bite and drop the excess strands back onto the plate. But how else are you supposed to eat it?
Don’t get me wrong, a good sauce can be tasty. But overall, most pasta-related things taste like cardboard.** I think this is how I got a negative impression of whatever “Italian food” is. If I wanted a bland flavorless food to be a vessel for a tasty sauce, rice is significantly better.
I should write a book “shit I missed the assembly on”. Sell millions.
**Except Kraft mac and cheese. That tastes like Big G’s semen after he’s been on a pineapple juice binge. Mmmmm. All cheesy goodness and no cardboardness.
Hrm. We’ll ignore that I like buttered egg noodles. It’s just fun bitching. If you can’t enjoy the world, why not enjoy bitching about it? : D

Break the dry spaghetti into halves or thirds before you cook it for easy eating. Then while you're draining it, brown a tsp of butter (doesn't have to be much) in the pan and toss it with the drained spaghetti - browned butter gives any pasta a wonderful flavor.
Also, spaghetti is traditionally supposed to be mixed into the sauce for a few minutes prior to being served- the pretty picture of sauce on top of a mound of bland pasta looks nice but is not as tasty.

My association with browned butter is nasty scrambled eggs. But, I will keep this in mind.

Pasta is one of my least favorite foods. Italian restaurants are never at the top of my list.
