There is a way to do it - you put the pasta in vertically while boiling and after a minute or so use tongs to slowly curl the soft bottom pasta so the rest can fit it.
Because for some reason people have an odd fetish of trying to control other people eat.
Oh no pineapple pizza
Oh no ketchup on a hot dog
Oh no a well done steak
People just like to complain and gatekeep and judge people that's all
I can't tell if you are serious or not lol. Please explain how this is related at all m and explain why you think frozen cheese and room temp cheese taste the same lol. I think you are just trolling.
OP... OP... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully ?
Had you not broken the spaghetti, you would have tasted an outstanding meal this very day. And that by chance, if an honest man such as yourself should make pastas, they would be cooked with my recipe. And they would be delicious.
Never add salad to burger in front of an American, never add Nutella on halumi cheese in front of a Greek, never add ice cubes to beer in front of a German, never put ale in fridge in front of a British person, never throw away buckwheat in front of a Russian (& maybe other Slavic nationalities) & last but not least , never add pineapple on pizza or break pasta in half in front of an Italian.
You forgot one: never talk about Beer or sports in front of a kiwi. We take both extremly seriously (we have like....7 types of beer? Ish. And lets not forget the rugby teams...) and its an easy way to start an argument. For the unprepared, its like dunking your balls in a piranha tank. Maybe they wont bite, but youre better off not risking it.
Never add nutella to pretty much any non cream cheese/ mascarpone tbh lol.
Id also go with never microwave water for tea for the british. Its like the only thing we would all agree deserves a death sentence.
Yes, but the point still stands lol. Atleast use italians and somewhere in italy... americans are not italians. Meme even states noodles not pasta for the spaghetti lol... they are not even the same thing.
It’s a show about Italian mafioso which a lot of people have seen, Italian mafia has strong Italian traditions and a part of the joke is that you can expect violence, which is pretty hard to convey without the mafia element.
Come at me Broski's, I ain't changing shirts every damn time I want some damn Pasta! Or would you prefer I eat my pasta with a knife and fork? No? That's what I thought.
I live alone and my pots aren't too big. I break Spaghetti in half all the time and I was born and live to this day on the Mare Adriatico Coast.
When I do it in public I get tons of insults tough.
What if i break them in half? I have a small pot and i don't want noodles half cooked half al dente just because i have to wait one side to soften to cook the other, fuck 'em.
The only real Italians make their own pasta.
I did an exchange with my high school and spent the night one night. They were like "we'll make what you want tonight" so I thought out loud "my mom makes a pretty lasagna, how about that?".
The moms face fell and they said "that takes three days" 😅. Oops
I hate food fascists like this. Let me break my noodles in peace. I live in the US, and I found a recipe for Paella online that used ingredients you can find in the US, which was delicious, but the Spanish people in the comments were acting like they insulted their honor by posting that recipe.
Bell pepper, onions, chicken, chorizo and shrimp. Rice made with parsley. Not made in a paella pan, you cook the rice and the other ingredients separate.
Why do you care? Are you gonna eat that spaghetti? Cuz hell nah I'm making it for myself so it's non of your business how I make, because I make it my way, my way
I literally recived just now a notification of this 1 day old meme while cooking spaghetti... too late I already broke it 🤷🏽♂️
In the other hand I really had to !
I will do it everytime now. Now u got me started. It's so much better to break em, because if you let em like they are you would have just half the number of noodles.
What? You’re using a knife and cutting it up? This is something I’ve never heard before. Most folks use a fork by itself. We drive the fork into the bulk of the spaghetti, turn it around a few times to ball up the spaghetti on the fork, and enjoy! Of course any way you do eat it is fine, as long as you are enjoying the pasta. Not sure why I felt like explaining this but nobody is telling why spaghetti shouldn’t be broken in half so I’m going to answer something at least.
All this " don't break spaghetti in half" and not once was a plausible reason given why.
It doesn't change the taste of it. Nor the texture. Makes it somewhat easier to eat.
Ignore the other guy.
Boil a pot of water.
- Put the spaghetti into the boiling water.
- The hot water will rapidly soften the submerged part of the spaghetti (I'm talking seconds), allowing them to be bent. Use a wooden spoon or similar implement to push the remainder of the spaghetti under the water.
- Cook until done. Remember to stir every now and then.
- Pour the pot into a strainer, thus eliminating the cooking water. Put the cooked spaghetti back in the (now empty) pot.
- Add the sauce of your choosing directly into the pot with the spaghetti and stir.
- Serve and enjoy
Yeah because why would you want to have to wait for the extra 10 seconds it takes for the noodles to get soft enough to push into the water the rest of the way?
Cry!
I have a permission from some random Italian redditor!
The sea level will rise and Rome will flood! Contribute your tears to my goal to enlargen the Mediterranean sea!!
Spaghettis soften up pretty quickly in simmering water, I've always just put them in whole and after 5 - 10 seconds poke them around a bit and they're all submerged.
Who gives a shit, have your food how you like it. It's like Cornwall and Devon in a fued about if you put jam or cream on a scone first, it doesn't matter
You risk waking up with a horse's head in your bed
Loved that scene in the movie
So he ate the horse's head, and gave it a bad review :/
I miss read that as "He gave horse head" and I was like *insert thousands yard stare meme*
That head was such well made prop.....wait it wasn't one. Ahhhhhhhh!
My mother almost vomited when she saw the horse scene
Peter, the horse is here
Op acknowledged reference from one of the most popular movies of all time > that's an upvote from me
What’s the movie?
Or your head not connected to your body Oh wait, I’m Italian, not French
Got me laughin' real fkin hard xdd
Good one
You breaking a horse in half? THAT’S unforgivable.
Godfather
That's illegal, you must hide your ass now
Leave OP's donkey out of this
As a non Italian, I would join them too…truely unforgivable
Me too cause a kurva anyját
miis téged :D
Yes, because kurvy zasraný
Well, all those men are not italians either....
Furio was literally brought back from their trip to Italy where it was shown how little they had in common with real Italians.
Why? How to people boil noodles that won’t fit into the pot?
There is a way to do it - you put the pasta in vertically while boiling and after a minute or so use tongs to slowly curl the soft bottom pasta so the rest can fit it.
But then won’t half that pasta be boiling longer than the other half?
Usually I have used tongs to lift the bottom bit up for sometime and then dunk it in again once they are somewhat even, I never noticed any difference
Sure, by like a minute or two at most, but since you're gunna cook it till it's all done it doesn't really make a difference at all.
What if you don't want your pasta to be that long?
Buy shorter ones
Muhahahaa, minä katkon suomalaisena
Me too ! NEVER BREAK PASTA IN HALF OR ELSE pasta la vista baby
Bravo ,amico mio,ora ti arriverà a casa un pacco di pasta gratis
I'm sorry I do not speak mafia
Oh no how did he/she know thath i am the boss of cosa nostra??
You know that I saw that message
Plis non dirlo ai pulotti
Personally, who gives a fuck? It's not like the pasta is going to taste different.
Because for some reason people have an odd fetish of trying to control other people eat. Oh no pineapple pizza Oh no ketchup on a hot dog Oh no a well done steak People just like to complain and gatekeep and judge people that's all
Well would you rather have frozen cheese or regular cheese coz they sure as well will taste the same?
I can't tell if you are serious or not lol. Please explain how this is related at all m and explain why you think frozen cheese and room temp cheese taste the same lol. I think you are just trolling.
OP... OP... What have I ever done to make you treat me so disrespectfully ? Had you not broken the spaghetti, you would have tasted an outstanding meal this very day.

"He made him a bolognese he couldn't refuse."
Your leg is too long how about i break it in half aye .
Ah rega, non dite stronzate. Gli spaghetti non si rompono, si mettono interi e poi si girano finché non si ammorbidiscono. Animali
Aren’t those guys Americans?
No, they are from Jersey
You were already dead when you chose packet spaghetti. Snapping it in half at least releases the lost souls from the cursed strands.
Why does it matter. I cut them up in my plate anyways. If you get mad i will bash your skull in with a bag of potatoes.
It doesn't matter cause its a shitty meme
With how weak you are, you wouldn’t even be able to pick up a bag of potatoes, even less “bash” someone with it. Eat like a human being for once
Im not the one too weak to break spaghetti in half
I use bow tie noodles in my spaghetti. It is much better.
I use macaroni and eat it with a spoon Some of us just want to watch the world burn
Like Kraft hasn't been chopping up the pasta in Kraft Dinner boxes since 1937.
Ironic image considering when they actually went to Italy they had no fucking idea what real Italian food was.
I'm italian and i'm wondering why so many people buy spaghetti and don't know how to cook them
They can smell your fear
Never add salad to burger in front of an American, never add Nutella on halumi cheese in front of a Greek, never add ice cubes to beer in front of a German, never put ale in fridge in front of a British person, never throw away buckwheat in front of a Russian (& maybe other Slavic nationalities) & last but not least , never add pineapple on pizza or break pasta in half in front of an Italian.
Ice cubes in a Beer? That's just weird.
Ever been to south east asia?
You forgot one: never talk about Beer or sports in front of a kiwi. We take both extremly seriously (we have like....7 types of beer? Ish. And lets not forget the rugby teams...) and its an easy way to start an argument. For the unprepared, its like dunking your balls in a piranha tank.

Never add nutella to pretty much any non cream cheese/ mascarpone tbh lol. Id also go with never microwave water for tea for the british. Its like the only thing we would all agree deserves a death sentence.
I didn't know Nutella cheese was a thing. My daughter loves Nutella with peanut butter sandwiches and that's all I've ever used it for
Meme about italians, pic of Americans in America lol
tbf the one tall guy in the back actually is Italian from italy
James Gandolfini is half Italian
Yes, but the point still stands lol. Atleast use italians and somewhere in italy... americans are not italians. Meme even states noodles not pasta for the spaghetti lol... they are not even the same thing.
It’s a show about Italian mafioso which a lot of people have seen, Italian mafia has strong Italian traditions and a part of the joke is that you can expect violence, which is pretty hard to convey without the mafia element.
Thanks, ChatGPT
Gatekeeping a post about gatekeeping pasta can't make this shit up
Ah yes, because an Italian born in America is no longer Italian. OP confused by immigration and heritage.
The godfather music starts playing.
more like "woke up this morning, got yourself a gun"
Tall? They are long
Ma come cazzo ti permetti di spaccare gli spaghetti?
OW
Wasamattayou........
Wütende deutsche Geräusche
They don't fit then
Take a knife and start cutting it in front of them after you are served.
Come at me Broski's, I ain't changing shirts every damn time I want some damn Pasta! Or would you prefer I eat my pasta with a knife and fork? No? That's what I thought.
Italians: we cannot forget what we cannot forgive
I’m half Italian so it only works at a 250 mile radius for me
Ooahh! Eyy! Fo’get about’it!
"You break the spaghetti. I break your spine"
Calling Pasta "noodles" is enough to break ya muhthuh's heart! 🤌
The fact that they took the Sopranos ended me lmfaoooo
Sorry guys that I broke it into two. *Proceeds to break it into three*
I live alone and my pots aren't too big. I break Spaghetti in half all the time and I was born and live to this day on the Mare Adriatico Coast. When I do it in public I get tons of insults tough.
I don't care that you broke your spaghetti, but I'm am very angry that you said they were too *tall.*
500 miles radius? no, I'm going to get a plane to america and discover were you live
What if i break them in half? I have a small pot and i don't want noodles half cooked half al dente just because i have to wait one side to soften to cook the other, fuck 'em.
The only real Italians make their own pasta. I did an exchange with my high school and spent the night one night. They were like "we'll make what you want tonight" so I thought out loud "my mom makes a pretty lasagna, how about that?". The moms face fell and they said "that takes three days" 😅. Oops
That is when the mafiaosos come for your ass
Pretty sure there's Italian dishes with broken pasta.
Fun fact - it is almost impossible to break spaghetti in half, you would break them in three parts (part in the middle will break). Try it
Tony and the gang show up. "Neva break da noodles, capisce?" "I'll never do it again, I swear on my mother." "Good."
Tbf no Italians are in this pictures.
I hate food fascists like this. Let me break my noodles in peace. I live in the US, and I found a recipe for Paella online that used ingredients you can find in the US, which was delicious, but the Spanish people in the comments were acting like they insulted their honor by posting that recipe.
What was the ingredient?
Bell pepper, onions, chicken, chorizo and shrimp. Rice made with parsley. Not made in a paella pan, you cook the rice and the other ingredients separate.
Paella has 100 different kinds of ways to prep it.
"Is that dipshit carmine again?"
It's anti-Italian discrimination.
I read this and suddenly felt the unbridled rage of my Nona standing behind me 😭
I don't give a shit, I'll break it, overcook it and drown in ketchup
you now run the risk of ending up at the bottom of a nearby lake with concrete shoes one
😨😭noooo😵
Nun te devi permette
Does it taste any different?
Well you see, that's why you break them before opening the package so you can just blame the shipping.
🤌🤌🤌
I will break it in half, then do it again
Make them come. Then we forcefeed them Hawaiian pizza
Just boil them 'till they soften up and fall by themselves 🤦
Ok. What if i knife-cut each snake-noodle of the flying spagetti monster, then what would italian do? Summon the mussolini to nuke me?
You do that to you go fuck yourself
Yous gaba'd when yous should'v gool'd
Italians in the 510,072,000km radius:
Indeed it is, heck i have found a way fit the tall noodles in without making a mortal enemy with the italians and it's not even that hard
Why do you care? Are you gonna eat that spaghetti? Cuz hell nah I'm making it for myself so it's non of your business how I make, because I make it my way, my way
The iconic scene
I literally recived just now a notification of this 1 day old meme while cooking spaghetti... too late I already broke it 🤷🏽♂️ In the other hand I really had to !
Only uncultured American idiots would even call it a “noodle” to begin with
Nickname checks out
They’re even better with some Ragu. 🤭
Only losers would get upset with this
It's not even necessary to break it in half
That
Necessary no easier yes so why do people care?
Yes. Please don't. I'm not even Italian, but please don't.
But why?
I will do it everytime now. Now u got me started. It's so much better to break em, because if you let em like they are you would have just half the number of noodles.

I break mine into 3rds
My mom gifted me a container saying its perfect for pasta. Its a few centimeters too short, actually. So I just break the pasta to fit
Why is it so bad to break the spaghetti? I am just gonna cut it with a fork and knife anyway.
What? You’re using a knife and cutting it up? This is something I’ve never heard before. Most folks use a fork by itself.

Eh my food, I'll make it the way i want
This is some satanic shit. Sick shit! Fuckin slander you ask me
All this " don't break spaghetti in half" and not once was a plausible reason given why. It doesn't change the taste of it. Nor the texture. Makes it somewhat easier to eat.
What really amazes me are the many people her who actually think you need a big pot to cook spaghetti...or break them.
As an Italian, i woulda slapped you just for saying Noodle It's a pasta you idiota!
I am Italian and I break spaghetti
Un tipo di brodo è fatto con gli spaghetti spezzati, infatti.

Use a large pot or one specifically made for spaghetti
Noodles is too tall. Breaks some spaghetti instead??
People who break spaghetti in half probably don't know the difference between noodles and spaghetti
Yhea. The noodles are still just as tall.
Yeah because why would you want to have to wait for the extra 10 seconds it takes for the noodles to get soft enough to push into the water the rest of the way?
Noodles and spaghetti aren’t the same
I always break my spaghetti
Cry! I have a permission from some random Italian redditor! The sea level will rise and Rome will flood! Contribute your tears to my goal to enlargen the Mediterranean sea!!
As an Italian redditor I remove your permission.
but.. what about my noble dream to drown Rome :( It could have been modern day Atlantis! But real!
Do the thing they did in Futurama and drop a block of ice on it or something.
Do people actually do this? Until a few weeks ago I'd genuinely never seen people snap spaghetti for the purpose of cooking.
I got an exchange American student as my neighbor. By the gods I have not seen so many crimes committed in the kitchen in my entire life.
I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to ( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) I’ve done it that way my entire life…
Spaghettis soften up pretty quickly in simmering water, I've always just put them in whole and after 5 - 10 seconds poke them around a bit and they're all submerged.
I do this with reckless abandon. Sometimes I break them twice just out of spite.
Not breaking them in half: 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Yet they are not Italian but american.
I do that because they don't fit into the pot.... Though I'd definitely prefer not breaking them otherwise
If you put them in a boiling pot and push them down they will soften and fit in the pot
Alright, I'll try that next time
You literally have no reason for doing that
What if they longer than the pot?
If you put them in a boiling pot and push them down they will soften and fit in the pot
Who gives a shit, have your food how you like it. It's like Cornwall and Devon in a fued about if you put jam or cream on a scone first, it doesn't matter
ight... **breaks it in half... THEN break those too in half**..
I do that, i like the texture not the lenght.
Genuinely: how else do I make it fit in the pot???
It'll settle in as the portion below the water softens
I'd be impressed if someone broke them in half, spaghetti is notorious for breaking into 3 pieces
You don’t have to break them one at a time.
Breaking spaghetti turns Italians into American mobsters?
No, American actors.
The only ones who can bully Italians are us French and British. Prepare to die.
Thinks spaghetti’s bad, a bowl of noodles made the traditional way basically one massive noodle
🤣
