I don't like your or your girlfriend.

Looks like plain pasta with bits of oregano

>>19480543
There is no way this dish cost $25 to make
LARP confirmed
Also, the penne looks undercooked, and isn't the right shape for the dish anyway
MORON confirmed
KYS

>>19480543
Fake and gay
Anyone who does this would explain what it is and wouldnt get rejected for it

>>19480543
Post the dish you actually made. That's not an American kitchen, whether in "college" or not.

>>19480548
She is not my girlfriend anon just a girl that I met through college. She is also not responding to any texts so clearly there is some issue.
>>19480554
>>19480555
>Also, the penne looks undercooked, and isn't the right shape for the dish anyway
You mean it is perfectly Al Dente? Yes, it is.
And there are $25 worth of ingredients. $4 of organic butter from Europe, all organic sliced Peperoncino, Prezzemolos, Garlics... the oil I used is from Italy, it is a noble and expensive oil. https://mannioil.com/ Probably alone I used $20 of oil.
I wanted that pusi anon, I went all-out.

Might have done better with something else

>>19480557
Anon I explained what it is and got some of the reaction that I am getting ITT... "Looks like plain pasta with bits of oregano", I am explaining that it's all very nice and classy stuff... she thinks I am bullshitting her man.
FUCK.

>>19480574
>the oil I used is from Italy
yikes

>>19480574
Go to Olive Garden/Noodles Co. to get what the average American thinks is pasta, we rarely have light oil/butter/cheese sauces without cream or tomatoes.

>>19480543
In the US that'd be a side dish, or something to make when you don't have much else available. I don't mind that but I'd need some cheese to really enjoy it.

She was probably expecting a tomato sauce or creamy alfredo, with meat or vegetables. But if she got that upset over it then she might not be that pleasant to be around anyway.

>>19480580
If you got to explain to someone how good it is it isn't

>>19480543
>Penne Burro con Olio al Aglio, Peperoncino, Prezzemolo
Now you’re just making up words

>>19480543
You dodged a bullet, if she actually liked you, she would have pretended to like it

>>19480595
>>19480594
>>19480597
She sent me a text in response, apparently "Prosciutto crudo e melone" is something I was going to film her eating as a prank and "plain pasta" is not a meal. "Even if the oil cost $20 why the fuck are you spending so much money on oil. You could have made a real meal or bought dinner and instead you wasted my time. Don't know what I was seeing in U..."
WHAT THE FUCK.
AMERICANS WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU.

>>19480598
SORRY FOR USING ITALIAN WORDS WITH MY ITALIAN FOODS... WTF....
>>19480602
>>19480594
>pasta
>cream
>tomatoes
What..... why

>>19480595
"creamy alfredo"
Explain what this is.

>>19480615
Alfredo made with heavy cream instead of just butter

>>19480605
>>19480609
Your fault for going after a white American woman.

>>19480543
I always break my spaghetti in half whole facing the direction of Rome

>>19480619
So not Alfredo then.

>>19480619
>Alfredo made with heavy cream instead of just butter
OK now I am the one being pranked. You don't really do this do you?

>>19480630
Yes, I'm American.

>>19480629
>>19480630
It's not traditional but that's what we call it. It's still tasty.

>>19480543
So you served her a big old plate of $25 aglio e olio and nothing else? American pasta uses lots of heavy sauces and meat, so that's probably what she's used to, but surely if you want to impress a girl you should make something more complex anyway?

>>19480605
she's right though, you're hyperfocusing on all the wrong ingredients. no one can taste the difference between your fancy Italian olive oil pressed with barw feet by virgins and the evoo slop on the shelf at the supermarket.
You made a lazy meal and focused on the wrong things, she has accurately analyzed that you are not worth continuing a relationship with.

>>19480543
Americans don't have an advanced pallet and like heavy sauce on their pasta, not light things like olio e aglio
Pasta with butter is something kids eat so she probably thought it was that

Anyway, avoid American college girls
Huge standards, low intelligence

>>19480543
nice try chang

>>19480543
She was probably just a retard who thought "pasta" means "spaghetti and meatballs"

>>19480543
American chicks are picky as fuck eaters but you should also not value their opinions

>>19480543
this isn't even food holy shit

>>19480543
Congrats, you just served a girl buttered noodles with a few flakes of oregano and expected it to go well.

>>19480690
Mmmm oil and pasta, my favorite. You're so cultured.

>>19480828
>oil and pasta
Literally oil, butter, garlic, pepper, parsley, sliced pepper and chili flake. It's anything BUT "oil and pasta".

>>19480543
Anon porcoddio $25 of ingredients... even if you used your best ever olive oil is a lot for an aglio olio e peperoncino.
The quality of pasta looks terrible, tho. Probably the worst pennette rigate you found in the supermarket, probably Barilla.
And to be honest any other basic dish would've been a better choice to impress an American girl expecting to eat pasta from an Italian guy. That really looks like plain pasta, it's hard to explain this dish to Americans.
And extra advice, you already fucked up serving garlic as one of the main ingredients to a woman.

>>19480543
OP
Are you real?
If so, please reply to this, I can help you

>>19480942
Doubtful but do your best. Italian grandma get ipad.

>>19480950
Girls don't like comfort food when they are thinking about sex, it makes them feel fat
Buttered noodles wouldn't fucking work in Italy which is why I think OP is full of shit

She's an American girl. Cook her spaghetti and meatballs with jarred sauce and frozen meatballs, toss in a little garlic and oregano. Make up some stupid Italian name for the dish. She'll think you are the greatest cook in the world

>>19480975

>>19480982
THOTs aren't human

Here’s the mushroom and Serrano pepper spaghetti I made last week since we all sharin

>>19480543
Sorry no habla Italiano allora buona sera e arrivederci
Seriously, if that's Buttered Penne with Oil and Garlic, Peppers and Parsley in your picrel, ya dun fucked up dude.
I'm just your normal American heathen. We like pasta, sauce, and meat. Don't know shit about real Italian cuisine and I never got to taste the homemade food from uni friends who were actually born and raised in Italy. And I recently made a post that really has made me need to measure up my cooking skills. But even I know that that's not "pasta", meaning, that that's REALLY, REALLY NOT what most people have in mind for pasta or cooking skills here in America.

I'd tell you to kiss that bitch goodbye but I guess even with all your sexy* European-ness, you're never gonna kiss that girl, huh?
*I was also gonna say "your saucy European-ness" but you don't really have any sauce now do you?

>>19480543
Basically what some other anons said already, but to the average American a pasta main has a think sauce (tomato or cream), lots of meat, and is often served with garlic bread.

>>19481081
Oops typo, “think sauce” should be “thick sauce”

>>19480605
She's right about you being a retarded fag if you spend 20 bucks on fucking oil. Anyone in any country would agree.

>>19480828
Seriously, why do Italians act like they're above criticism? Fucking oil and pasta is not a dish.
Would you give someone bread and water and pretend that it's a meal? Of course not.

>>19481081
>pasta
>with bread

>>19480602
Legit wise, keep this in mind with american women and probably all women. Prob should keep cooking like this as a filter to get rid of hoes who aren't into it

>>19480543
Americans love talking about loving other culture and heritage as long as it fits their Americanized vision of it. Even if you made her a Putanesca or some shit she'd complain about the slight fish smell because it doesn't fit her white girl idea of fish in food she gets from goyslopped down sushi. Not worth your time ITALIanon, leave the bitch alone to her "ITALIAN" ketchup and butter pasta and mac&cheese.

>>19481081
>pasta con pane

>>19480605
Step back from your Italian brainwashing.
You thought a girl would be impressed with boxed pasta with some oil on it? What is this, 1900s impoverished Sicily?

>>19481081
>and is often served with garlic bread.
No. Maybe in the food pyramid 90s.

>>19481131
It is a very good, hearty home-made dish. It’s one of my favorite simple dishes when it is made well. It makes you appreciate the texture of a good quality pasta. If the pasta is not the star of the show, usually this means you are just covering for that fact with extraneous ingredients and over abundance of superfluous flavors.

>put Americans in charge of Pasta
>get this

>>19480605
You're a fucking stupid ass retard and Italy is a joke

Your only heritage is slave blood, the Romans have been extinct for centuries

>>19481081
Why TF does this board get hit at exactly midnight Mountain?

>>19481170
>he STILL thinks /ck/ is about cooking
Lel; if you know you know

>>19481164
Bullshit. Fettuccine Alfredo is about as basic as you can get for a meal while still being acceptable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=st7c0jQD0Lk

>>19481215
I fucking know why
What's with the time, though
I decry Julia Child and Jaques Pepin and they were not friends with my dad
Or whatever (((they))) want
Why is it UTC-7:00 that they show up?

you could give a retard some high end steak and youre gonna get a shitty steak, now its a shitty expensive steak

>>19481251
>Why is it UTC-7:00 that they show up?
He doesn't know...

>>19481250
Aglio e olio is a perfectly acceptable dish, and one which is accepted AS a dish that can be served as the entree. It’s delicious. People who are unable to appreciate it have a child’s palate.

>>19480543
>Hi /ck/, I am from Italy visiting the USA

Yes, you did make a mistake by visiting that shithole country

>>19481323
No anon he's FROM italy

>>19480605
>Prosciutto crudo e melone
I get that this is a troll thread but why does your picture have the rind left on the melon? Either you made it like that specifically to fuck with us, someone out there eats the rind, you intended to do it at the table, or it's some unfathomable Italian tradition to make it like that. None of those options make any goddamn sense.
