For those who is Italy - how much pasta per portion Italians are consuming in one meal?

Here in US if we get spaghetti - it's whole lot plus garlic bread.

It doesn't seem right.


They also have the correct idea with pizzas, which I rarely order anywhere else also. Why must we always BULK the food out with all that dough/gluten/flour etc. Sabotage!

They=Italians

"Bulking out foods"- generally done to bread/wheat items in other Western countries.

Sorry my post was not clear.

It's not that isn't clear - I've asked another question that has nothing to do with your answer. And it was easy one and direct.

Nothing to figure out!

Just say if you know or move on if you don't! Geeeeeeee

Semolina! In USA it would be De Cecco brand.

And no - Italians don't eat pasta with anything but gravy. Meatballs comes separately.
