Fettuccine or Spaghetti?

[Cronus Protagonist]

Spaghetti's always the best. Fettuccine is too much pasta to sauce ratio per bite. Of course, al dente.



(And cream sauces are awful - they should be banned.)

1. Agree, with one exception: truffles!

When you add shaved truffles, fettucine is best!

2. I tried truffles once

They're not to my taste... they taste like dirt to me.. yet some of my friends rave over them. And they're always disappointed when I taste some just to see... not that I don't like them, but that the truffle was wasted on such a gastronomic neanderthal.

3. I love all pasta types.

All the time.

4. Alfredo is fantastic

and I'll take on anyone that doesn't agree, at least until my blood pressure starts to climb, then I may need a break.

And Carbonara, I had a spaghetti carbonara in Rome several years ago that still makes the hair on my arms stand up.

Screw your tomato based saucism!!!!

5. Milky sauces are too soupy!

Pasta is not supposed to be like clam chowder, the sauce is supposed to flavor the pasta, not overwhelm and drown it!

6. "Fettuccine Alfredo". n/t

7. Capellini, you uncouth savage

Do you eat Ragu and use your fingers like a child?














Just kidding, it's all good. Ive actually found a brand of pasta I like. It's called Bionaturae, organic, whole wheat pasta. Had some with a sauce I played with for a couple of days. I wish I had the time to make up some more sauce.

Too... ummm... gluteny!

11. Neither

Buttered egg noodles. With a sprinkle of fleur de sel.

12. Neither. Linguine. n/t

[tonekat]

13. I avoid Bucatini

I love pastas, fresh, dry, it's all good. But Bucatini with red sauce will fling the sauce at your chest and you will leave looking like you were in a knife fight and lost.

Nothing like wearing a white blouse when everyone says "Let's get Italian!".

14. Rotini!

18. That's too gay for me to eat

And I'm gay. :^)

15. Linguini

17. I'll eat any pasta

but a big ol' plate of spaghetti and meatballs can't be beat.


Except for the fettucini bruzzi at Roma Ristorante in Apopka, FL which, sadly, is no more. They were there for 47 years and the owners just got tired so they retired. It's where I had my wedding rehearsal dinner 27+ years ago and many other dinners later and a few before then when we would visit my grandparents before I moved here. Fettucini Bruzzi is the only thing I ever had there. It was fettucini in a red meat sauce covered with cheese and baked until the cheese on top was brown and yummy.


But since I can't get that any more, Spaghetti and Meatballs is king.
