Mmmm, look at all that parmesan cheese! I always ask the waitress for extra parmesan on anything Italian that I order. Fresh parm on pizza and spaghetti is especially good!
Your mother was a stupid cunt. She probably let gaggles of naggers have her at every angle and hole and piss and shit and vomit on her and inject her with aids blood. She would cry about how her son was a stupid homosexual and they would laugh and just dump more loads of nagger shit on her face.
How do you guys make your tomato sauce? I use whole canned tomatoes from a restaurant supply store. Every time I make the sauce, my gf complains it's too sour.
I assume it's the acidity in the tomatoes. I've tried simmering the sauce longer (2 hours or so should be plenty I've read), adding a few TBSP of sugar, adding more fat (butter), but can't seem to please her pallet. At this point I just assume it's because she's Filipino and is used to the "sweet" tomato sauce they make with their spaghetti over there. pic related
I brown some sausage (no casings) and cook down a diced onion/garlic a little bit then toss it in the crock pot for 6 hours with whatever Hispanices I'm using and some cheap canned crushed tomatoes. I peel a big carrot and toss it in then remove it at the end. sometimes I'll shred the carrot and just let it dissolve into the sauce.

oh I forgot you can add some dairy towards the end to cut down on some of the sour/bitterness. milk works but some nice cheese is probably better.
This is really a partial answer. While true that in a chemistry setting sugar doesn't change the ph of an acid. Cooking is far more complex in that adding sugar can change the ph because it effects other things in the sauce like tomatoes.
Is it true that Italians always mix the sauce into the pasta instead of just pouring it on top? American spaghetti always just pours the sauce straight on top. Enlighten me please.
It’s the first time that I see Americans calling that dish “American” instead of Italian (which it isn’t at all), so I respect op for that.
Yes it’s true because not doing it is really stupid as fuck for several reasons.
The number 1 reason for mixing pasta and sauce in the same pan is to make the sauce stick to the pasta by adding a ladle of starchy pasta cooking water that acts as a glue when most of the water has evaporated.
You do this with every single kind of pasta, not just spaghetti.
In this picture taken with the camera flash on you can clearly see the glossy patina covering the spaghetti and keeping the emulsified oily sauce attached to them, basically all the flavour.

Thanks anon. I already knew the answer but wanted some confirmation that I’m doing it correctly. I always mix sauce into the pasta and add a little of the pasta water like you said.

It's questionable if "real" italian pasta has tomato sauce on it. Tomatoes were not a part of The Old Works and didn't make their way to Italy until transatlantic exchange started in 1492
there's nothing wrong with spaghetti but using them for literally everything including meat based sauces is retarded. there are much better pasta shapes for that but all cooklets ever use are spaghetti
>there are much better pasta shapes for that but all cooklets ever use are spaghetti
This is true. Spaghetti is one of the worst shapes for a meat sauce. You want a pasta with ridges, some other kind of trapping mechanism, or at least a wide surface area for the meat bits to cling to.
I am not the biggest fan of Rigatoni because I think long pasta is much more satisfying. Tagliatelle is probably the most versatile one. This should be the default, not Spaghetti
Looks like absolute shit. Jarred sauce, probably Ragu or Prego, with shitty sawdust and plant collagen "Parmesan" paired with overcooked Barilla spaghetti. Meatballs probably bought frozen.
This is a dinner for people who think that they know how to cook when all they do is open packages and heat things up.
I ate this at an American family’s house when I was a foreign exchange student…before adding the sauce, they took the butter and put it on my plate of pasta.
Looks like a big sloppa bloody shit
I hope your parents and children get raped by aids naggers and then burned alive. Your speghetti sucks.
Looks good
I've seen more appealing diarrhea.
What’s it to you? Let us each enjoy what we like. It’s not like we like the Tour of Italy or something it’s just good olde fashioned spaghetti
You saw actual shit and thought, "yeah, i wanna eat that"?
Europeans eat shit
Your meatballs are too small
No meatballs at all?!
This is how I like the size of my meatballs to be
That's a meat sauce.
First you make big, perfect meatballs.
Then you break them up into little pieces and mix the pieces into your sauce.

what the fuck
Is this hot or gross? I can't tell anymore
Right there with you
Now that’s service I would tip for.
That’s not parmesan, it’s dermesan
Im sorry italians but garlic bread with powdered garlic like mom used to make is so much fucking better than using fresh garlic.
Your mother was a stupid cunt. She probably let gaggles of naggers have her at every angle and hole and piss and shit and vomit on her and inject her with aids blood. She would cry about how her son was a stupid homosexual and they would laugh and just dump more loads of nagger shit on her face.
Are you okay?

could try adding the few TBSP of suger AND adding carrots
Carrots might work. I was thinking about trying a bolognese sauce for the spaghetti instead.
Daddy Jack uses carrots
Bitchin. I'm going to try it. Thanks.
Baking soda or grape jelly.

>cheap canned crushed tomatoes
Anon why would you cheap out on the main ingredient?
oh I forgot you can add some dairy towards the end to cut down on some of the sour/bitterness. milk works but some nice cheese is probably better.
add a base like baking soda or cream to reduce the acidity. adding sugar covers up the acidic taste but doesn't actually reduce the acidity.
This is really a partial answer. While true that in a chemistry setting sugar doesn't change the ph of an acid. Cooking is far more complex in that adding sugar can change the ph because it effects other things in the sauce like tomatoes.
>spaghetti seasoning
>first 2 ingredients are corn starch and sugar
Grim. I'm not even a "muh ingredient list" person but it's not right
>checked
> I'm not even a "muh ingredient list" person but
its important to make meatballs.
Thank God someone said it

He uses one of these to wash his back

nothing more depressing than seeing pasta like this and it's spaghetti every time

Those things look like a bunch of vaginas. Kek.
who or what have you been fucking?

Ironically, angel hair pasta would probably work too since it clumps together. But that's like my least favorite pasta
whoa have some self control with the parmesan there OP
For me it’s spaghetti with crab instead of meatballs
Um.. ew
Looks like the crab is eating the spaghetti
>Looks like the crab is eating the spaghetti
This fills the crab
The way you eat this is the crab eats the spaghetti then you eat the crab

Try adding cheese next time
These ain’t too bad
Stouffers is good.
Your momma clearly never made you lasagna.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
the only thing the italians got right about this over american italians is tossing the spaghetti in the sauce before plating.
