    I know enough people who break their spaghetti before cooking them or who cut them before serving them.

    I die a little inside every time.

        It goes against my culinary convictions. 😄

        It is meant to be enjoyed in its full, long form - in my book. Breaking spaghetti changes the texture and how it twirls around a fork, thus changing the classic dining experience.

        Plus, long spaghetti is (are?) perfect for catching the sauce evenly.

        None of this will keep anyone from breaking them, but it keeps my world safe and sound. 😁

          Nah, i prefer to cut and mix them instead of that thwirling and slurping. They could make Spaghetti Couscous-sized for all i care. But you do you.

        You need to watch the pot but laying them over the pot of boiling water until they’re soft enough to bend in the middle works fine.
