>>21906720spaghetti, penne and tagliatelle cover every single possible use case.any other kind of pasta is a straight downgrade
>>21906722objectively wrong but okay
>>21906722>Use caseJust eat the protein pills already, saddo
>>21906720I love pasta but it makes me super tired after from the carb crash :(
>>21906762Lol
>>21906762>carb crashno such thing
How feasible is it to make your own pasta dough and to just make orechiette or tagliatelle on a regular basis? Is it cost effective including the time it takes? Does the reduced cooking time help?Is it it better than dry pasta? Is the middleway to buy fresh pasta in the store and how do I know that is good quality?
>>21907101if you are asking this, you were never meant to do it, just give up and eat your slop.
>>21907105Thank you, very helpful.
no worries, remember the answer next time you start asking a million minute questions like a retardo again instead of you know, actually doing it and learning in the process.
I love posta so much guys
the worst pasta is the types that resist getting on your fork like farfalle, penne, fusilli, rigatoni, conchigliebest pasta is spaghetti, tortellini & gnocchi.
>>21907101I mill my own flours, including potato flour for gnochi, and make all pastas from scratch. All sourced from true organic farms (mostly Amish).Once you get in rhythym, it's not apprciably more trouble.t. 20 years of this not including extruded pastas, which is about 7 years
>>21907194LOLYou don't know how to use a fork. All the pastas you listed are eminently forkable.

can i ask for some tips on marinara sauce? if im making a ragu or something (i.e. meat sauce) then it tastes perfect as cooking it with the meat mellows it outif i try to do marinara sauce in the same way on its own then it has a very intense tomato flavor, it seems over the top and doesnt taste great, not sure about ways to make it nicer
>>21908913gd. i wish my eldery mother basically in poverty wasnt too proud to actually go to food banks. the food there is so completely legit. boomers are hopeless
>>21909273add a bit of sugar and a tiny bit of red wine vinegar. food chemistry is weird and i didnt understand it for decades
>>21909334i do use red wine vinegar already but havent tried sugar
>>21909336also, are you making the sauce scratch? are you using whole tomatoes? you should remove the skins from tomatoes when making sauce. they can taste far too tomatoey and at the same time resist breaking down completely, which complicates most sauce presentations. There are a couple tomato sauce styles that specifically incorporate tomatoes with their skins, but they're usually cherry tomatoes, and not as powerful and acidic as a result.
>>21909339i usually use canned or passata so I think its no skin, maybe i should try with fresh ones instead
>>21909345addu tomatu paste-u baka-san
>>21909345Passata is basically already perfectly balanced sauce for pizza. If you're using it for pasta and don't like it, maybe you're used to nontraditional tomato sauces which is completely fine. Things to add are kinda limited though, culturally there are some variations, but you can try:evaporated milk,sweetened condensed milkherbs (oregano, basil, thyme)olive oilsugar (already mentioned in earlier post)otherwise, simmering with meat and letting the flavor change over time is a good option if you don't mind blasting away the fresh tomato flavor altogether (a long simmered tomato sauce wont have any fresh tasting tomato flavor by the end of it, so what you could do is reserve like 1/4 of the sauce, cook down 3/4s of it for a day, and then add back the 1/4 'raw' sauce at the end to balance the flavor)

I used radiatori in a tomato based sauce today and it didn't go over well texturally with my guests. But my wife and I liked it. What's your opinion?

>>21914996They weren't used to the shape and it gave them an unpleasant time?

Take 2 or 3 strips of bacon, slice em up as thin and small as possible, fry em in a pan and toss your cooked noodles in. Whew. It has changed my life.
>>21916318surely you can do better than thatfry some mushroom wish it, add some thyme/sage, put a bit of cream or chicken stock in after frying them to make a bit of a sauce
>>21916330also bit of white wine to deglaze before the cream/stock
>>21916330>a bit of a sauceWho says I'm eating noodles without sauce? Putting them in bacon grease is just a different way of buttering my pasta before they go in spaghetti sauce. Also, mushrooms + a gay creamy sauce makes me want to pic related

>>21908655My mother is like this. When I make pasta for her it is basically in the first stages of dissolving and she says it is perfect.
>>21916578For every type of pasta?
>>21906720I like a good, spicy, garlicky putanesca. I make mine intense, lots of capers, anchovies, garlic and peppers. It'll make you fuck like a randy goat
>>21906720Radiatori is the best pasta shape. There can't be any debate about this.
I made spaghetti and meatballs today. I used Trader Joe’s sauce, Trader Joe’s cocktail meatballs, and Trader Joe’s pasta. Everybody loved it, especially my wife’s boyfriend

>>21906720I made this for a potluck. It's gluten free lentil noodles. Came out pretty good. Made the ranch from scratch. As a celiac sufferer noodles are the one outlet thats almost as good as the ordinary version. Every other thing imitating something made with wheat is garbage, so I make a lot of noodles.

>>21908851Looking real tasty>>21914978Was the sauce thick or thin? It’s not textural but the smaller pasta shapes don’t feel as luxurious or adult, even though the it’s the exact same thing in a different shape
This is my new favorite pasta shape.
I have an entire section of my pantry dedicated to boxes of pasta. I have about 20 lbs of spaghetti, 10 lbs of linguini, and 10 lbs of all other kinds of dried pasta (except the stupid useless ones)I can't stop buying it, even when I have plenty. "WW3 is starting eventually anon! You're going to miss pasta, better buy more just in case!"why am I like this?
>>21908604MOVE THE FUCKING TRAY OVER FOR FUCK SSSSSSSSSSAKE
>>21927247I would say the sauce was midway, it stuck well to the pasta but it wasn't like gravy. There was cream in pasata to give it a more luxurious texture.
The fastest way to identify a cooklet is when somebody thinks 'al dente' means undercooked. I'm not sure why people have such a difficulty understanding the concept, even some Italians can't seem to get it right.
>>21923682Looks delicious.
Step aside every other pasta. The superior shaped nood is coming through.

Spaghetti. Butter. Parmesan. Allow me a conjecture, you require additional ingredients?

>>21941537it's actually weird how it changes the taste in unexpected ways. Like kd and ketchup. Wtf is happening
>>21942378Penne alla vodka
>>21942378>diced tomatoes>adding tomato paste towards the end>adding oregano and basil at the same timeTry google
>>21943375>Try googleWhat?
>>21943396Google will probably tell you to use only whole San Marzano tomatoes. You can use whatever you want, there may be a difference, it's not worth the price to me. I use crushed. It will tell you to add the paste toward the beginning and cook it for deeper tomato flavor. This I do, costs nothing, is noticable, is easy to try and judge for yourself. If you're using dried herbs that guy is an idiot and you can add both fairly early on. For fresh you want the oregano earlier and the basil right at the end. Do what you want with that info, I could be wrong, you do you. All I'd add is to try some alcohol (wine) at the end of the onions mushroom cooking, let it reduce some to not mess with your consistency, then proceed as normal, or as you see fit.
>>21943413Ok
>>21923682Simply perfection.
>>21943413i add the sauce and herbs as early as possible though.i need to cook the onions for a long time and then brown the garlic a bit. then i can add the herbs and tomato parts.same reason i bake the meat in a separate pan. so it can get a bit crispy.so you put in your sauce, and then add raw onions and garlic and meat?
>>21946164OK
>>21906722i liek shells, they're a fun shape:)
>>21942340...where are thee Eggies and Cheese?
