when the gababool edible kicks in
Pasta is literally all that italians eat. They have 3000 different variations of antipasta.
Pizza and risotto are just window dressing, they only pretend to eat those. All pizza joints in italy are money laundering schemes for pasta. So much pasta itβs illegal
So OP, if all you eat is pasta, you are certified Italian
pasta is all that italians eat
first example is literally anti-pasta
Wait, I can feel it, the - the change uggghhhhhh

The hell is wrong with pasta and meatballs? You're a winner
Really? 
You're not missing anything, trust me. Good food isn't worth all the yelling and intergenerational baggage.
Sounds like a damn good dinner to me
Day 56 of willing myself to become Italian. I have eaten pasta for every meal for 56 days straight. My hands can finally do the π€ thing
Not a real Italian until all you eat is gabagool
Mom, my online friends are bullying me again! 
But yeah. Do what I do and take any Italian descent you have way too seriously. Itβs fun learning the language, Bocce ball, and other fun stuff. But it also infuriates me how actual Italians are ruining Italy with fascist-neolib ghouls like Meloni.
Bocce ball,
I played the shit out of that in rehab and got quite good at it, lol. Italy seems like a lovely country but it's full of fucking fascists (much like the USA!)
Oh are they fascist again this week?
it's kind of a genius meal. the tomato based sauce with fatty flavor and decent nutrient density and the carb noodles for calories. it can be jazzed up a lot of ways with other veg and/or protein, the pasta shape can change form or even what it's made from. so there are a ton of permutations to mimic diversity but it's fundamentally still prepared the same, fairly quickly and without a bunch of complicated procedures or faffery: a pan for sauce and a pot to boil water and you're in business.
it's pretty legit to develop one's own personal take on tomato-based sauce, developed over time from making it over and over and over.
I mean, there's a reason even premade sauces sell pretty routinely. it's yum. hot and ready, cold from the fridge the next day. it's genius really.
I read this book by this guy from like the 1700s in China, sort of a far east analog to France's gastronomie. (Recipes from the Garden of Contentment, Yuan Mei... only recently translated to English). anyway, he was super opinionated and crapped all over complex foods and ornate feasts as muddled and wasteful, but was fascinated by simple, economic dishes of just a few ingredients which all worked in concert to satisfy us aesthetically. it made me realize that working people's meals in history are what we all salivate for. rich snobs have their banquets and amusebouche b.s. , but really what entices people's hearts and satiates them are old peasant and working people's uncomplicated dishes, using cooking forms invented by working people to quickly and efficiently feed their families. even many industrial preprepared foods are imitations of these, like Mac n cheese or a cup of noodles, pretty much all the classic canned soups.
