What other methods are there? Microwave?
An Italian scientist got a lot of flak back in 2022 for pointing out that you can boil the pasta for 2-3 minutes, turn off the burner, and let the residual heat cook the rest of the pasta and get the same result, saving some (very expensive back then) gas. So apparently that's a more energy-efficient way to cook pasta, if marginally so.
Italians, not liking when their very dear "muh traditions" are exposed to be based on rote repetition of recipes from very different material conditions and marketing from the 1920s, got very mad at him before even trying if the method worked or not.
Every time I go into the comments of a youtube video about making a traditional Italian dish easier it's full of the most pretentious people in the world talking about how "That's not real Risotto, my Italian mother blah blah blah" like shut the fuck up, your name is Carl and you live in Altoona, Iowa.
I once posted a pic of some spaghetti meatballs to a dorm group chat. The Italian dude immediately jumps in and says "that's not real pasta". So I say to him "noodles are from China, so you guys are actually just fucking up 捞面 really bad."
Dude got legitimately mad and didn't talk to me for a week. Worth it.
A dude that gave me that attitude on pasta/noodles also tried to (erronously) correct me on spider taxonomy and the ranges of mosquitos. I sticks with me years later.
I knew one of these guys in college, one time I ate his cooking and it was the worst fucking spaghetti I've ever had in my life lmao
Holy shit owned
The Sards have their own version of hand pulled noodles, too. Called su filindeu. The mainland Italian mind could never
I deal with ths as a job. It's insufferable. None one I work with is even Italian.
fuckin Altoona.. what you gonna do go to the horse races or adventureland?
