How much pasta?
the fuck is with all that italian propaganda lately ?
Italian's eat pasta the way it should be eaten, more of whatever it comes along with (meatballs, seafood etc) and less of the actual pasta. We eat pasta like "would you like some meatball with your pasta" so wrong! Its the only place I will actually order a pasta dish because its served/made correctly.

When I go to Italy, I plan on eating pasta day and night. Maybe in the middle of the night as well ?
Exactly what I done! Believe me you cant get enough of it! AND I lost weight LOL! Go figure!

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!

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

Is 2+2 really 4?
Posted by tiziani
No idea really, it differs from family to family. I don't remember eating a lot of pasta while I was there. It's so cheap that no one really thinks about it.
When you were there? Aren't you there?
It was informative. I didn't need that much info. But thanks for trying.
From when I went to Italy, it was no more than 1/2 lb per person, max, of course they use the metric system so I could be off. They are also allowed to eat as much or as little as they please so +/-.

Semolina! In USA it would be De Cecco brand.
And no - Italians don't eat pasta with anything but gravy. Meatballs comes separately.
