Even though I'll incur the wrath of all Italians I do like to put ketchup on my pasta when I don't have the time/energy/ingredients to make a proper sauce. Even better with shredded cheese.

make sure to break your spagehtti during cooking and cut them with a knife when eating

I've been using a pair of scissors to cut my spagetti, a knife would probably be way easier to clean. Thanks for the tip, I'll let everyone know how it goes!

Duh. How else would I be able to eat them with a spoon?

You jest but:

And add lots of cream

I think that's just SpaghettiOs

Spaghetti and Swedish meatballs topped liberally with ketchup is a childhood staple food in Sweden. It's honestly not bad, highly inoffensive food, fit for picky eaters.

I still get that when I visit my Norwegian mother. Though she usually uses spirelli instead of spaghetti.

And of course the vastly superior Norwegian meatballs. 😋

Why not just buy sauce and keep it for when you don't feel like making it

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 3 months ago

Then I have good sauce. So I will eat it. Until it is gone. Then I eat ketchup.

I prefer spaghetti with ketchup and shredded cheese to ones with a bolognesse sauce.

So far I manage to hide from the Italian death squad.
