It depends, but it is always mixed together before eating.
I prefer to mix everything together before so I can get the right consistency of my sauce.

>>19727106
I grew up with it on top but now I mix it together. Fwiw, I also hate regular spaghetti noodles now, and almost always use chunkier pieces, spaghetti isn't really good for anything.

>>19727106
both

>>19727112
Im not gonna lie, mixing everything up is just niggerish imo

>>19727120
Hehe we could be friends and maybe even gay lovers

It's up to you really.
My dear mother, who was Italian, did it this way but there's no recipe.

>>19727123
>Facebook frog opinion

What is the benefit to putting it on top? I don't understand.

You typically finish the pasta in the sauce if you're making single serving to order. If you're making a big pot of sauce for a bunch of people, they can take their pasta, ladle on their sauce, and then mix it up at the table.

Great job outing yourself as a supreme tastelet, and admitting you've never had good pasta in your sad little life.

>>19727193
Thinking a slopa will taste better

>Many such cases

>>19727123
Retard dyec?

>>19727214
>no bro, it's better when the sloppa sauce is on top of the pasta

>>19727214
This is what happens when you never mature out of your picky toddler phase. Really sad to see.
You have proven quite nicely how you don't know anything about making pasta as well.

Lol. lmao even

It's ok kid. Us big guys will have it the patrician way

>>19727259
A self admitted tastelet pretends his opinion matters. LMFAO! YOU ALREADY BLEW IT RETARD!

>>19727259
YOU COULDN'T EVEN POST AN IMAGE OF PASTA YOU MADE EITHER!
GO AHEAD POST PASTA OR ARE YOU JUST A PATHETIC LITTLE COWARD?

Bot.

>>19727106
Why wouldn't you want to mix the sauce in?

>>19727123
Yeah all those restaurants got it wrong..
shouldve listened to you.

>>19727292
Do not waste your time with a bot. They have infested this board recently.

>>19727292
Well of course. Most italian restaurants are managed by portuguese mulattos so what do you expect?

>>19727293
OH NONONONONO

gimme that old time mixed up spaghetti

>>19727106
In most cases you're going to want to finish the pasta by cooking it with/in the sauce for the last bit of cook time..

>>19727372
That looks pretty aite.

A trick I found/learned from making bolognese is to reduce your sauce down to the point the oil splits then adding a good amount of salted pasta water to reintegrate everything. After adding the water and mixing for a minute you drizzle evoo in and it gives the pasta a really nice glossy look.

You wouldn't want to split a cheese sauce, but it works great for tomato and meat sauces.

>>19727372
>in most cases

Leave that thing to the italians, we do things different here

>>19727436
Yeah, but you're wrong and have bad taste so... I just go on doing it the correct way.

spaghetti got to be wet wet...

>>19727448
This looks perfect.

>>19727493
This could use more pasta water IMO. I do prefer strained tomatoes for my sauces, so it may just be a taste difference.

>>19727493
>>19727448
You can keep the sloppa

>>19727546
Gladly :D

>>19727732
thats just the way your moms sounds, not everyones is like that. spaghettis' need to be wet

>>19728081
>spaghettis' need to be wet

>>19727546
Genuine sloppa noodz, fresh, just for you anon

Why would you want the pasta and the sauce to be separated? In case you want to eat the nooodles by themselves before eating the sauce? Thats fucking retarded , obviously both things are made to be eaten mixed together as one but i guess autistic robots have trouble processing such simple inputs.

>>19728300
Picky eaters and brainded NPC zombies.

>>19727123
>having inconsistent sauce-to-pasta ratio in every bite is based
I'd rather be cringe.

>italians BTFO

>>19729270
>t.

I live alone so most of the time I don't even plate my food. I just take the pasta right from the pot into the pan with my sauce which I then eat directly out of.

What I like to do is mix some marinara sauce and melted bacon lard in with my sketti, then I squirt some ketchup on top of it for extra flavor.

>serious mental illness
To be fair, it's not exactly unusual for Black people of color to call each other the enword. He might not be mentally ill or racist at all, and he might have been using the enword as a compliment. I think we should all take a moment and reflect on the ways in which we can be more culturally sensitive and respectful towards Black gentlemen and ladies of color

>>19727106
I always have leftover so I put it on top.
Mixing it makes everything mushy the next day

You bring out another saucepan, pull some pasta out onto it, dump a ladle of sauce over it and toss it around in the pan

>>19727293
This looks perfect to me.

>>19729388
Saute onions and a ground meat
Add minced garlic, chili pepper, and tomato paste and saute for a couple mins
Add strained tomato sauce
Gently reduce until the oil splits and the meat is tender, maybe 1 hour. Longer is better. Add water if needed.

Salted water-pasta

Take some sauce, add it to strained pasta add a good amount of pasta warer and stir.
The sauce will eventually coat the pasta. Add more water if it doesnt.

Drizzle a generous portion of evoo on pasta and stir until pasta is glossy.

Serve.

My favorite way to make an easy meat+tomato sauce for pasta.

Most of the Italian trattoria I ate in while living in the Veneto region of Italy for 3 years served their pasta ragu unmixed. You just got a bed of pasta with a ladle full of ragu on the top and centered.

>>19729468
Hell yeah. Gotta season that pasta and that’s how it’s done. I always thought I loved Italian food until I went to Italy. Then I was all HOLY FUCK. Couldn’t bring it home like a souvenir and had to learn these methods. I am autistic and what they call a “linear eater” but Italy cured me of that shit real fast. Not incorporating the pasta into the sauce is like serving elbow macaroni with cheese sauce poured on top and calling it mac n cheese.

>>19729477
Were you staying at monasteries or something? I stayed with nuns in Rome and they served pasta like that. But later when I was a degenerate with more money and went to restaurants they cooked the pasta with the sauce.

>>19729489
No, anon. I lived outside of Vicenza for 3 years and would travel around the little towns, villa, and cities in the area, and that was pretty much the standard way I'd get served any random "ragu" pasta dish. I think gnocchi was the only "ragu" dish that was regularly served mixed, but the fettucine, tagliatelle, bigoli, spaghetti, was all served with the pasta forming a bed and the ragu ladled on top centered. And they were skimpy as fuck on their ragu sauce compared to what we are used to outside of Italy, because the pasta is supposed to be the focus.

>>19727106
You finish the cooking in a pan with a little bit of pasta water and mix everything.

>>19727123
Mind broken.
Cracker-snapped, some might say.

>they don't know

Why do all of the people posting photos of unsauced noodles keep using stocks photos?

We know you can't cook, but you could put a little more effort into making the shitpost look authentic. Back in my day shitposting meant something.

>>19727432
I did this a couple days ago because I ran out of tagliatelle. it's amazing how shit and annoying spaghetti bolognese is. stop trying to fit in and pretend that spaghetti bolognese is a viable combo. it's a fucking joke compared to tagliatelle or pappardelle enjoyed only by the most basic retards

I usually cook my tomato sauces the lazybones way in a slow cooker so I end up not finishing the pasta in the sauce, but mixed is better 100% of the time.

>>19730582
Thats not bolognese first off, and secondly I just wanted pasta dinner. No shit tagliatelle is better.

>>19727241
This is my bolognese with fresh tagliatelle made using eggs from my farm,ground beef from a cow I raised and heirloom pasta flour.

>>19730536
>Unsauced

Stop being retarded anon please

I think we should have noodles and sauce in two seperate bowls and dip them for every bite

>>19730642
That's how the Japanese do it with certain styles of ramen and soba. Are you a W word?

Why put effort into pasta when you can just toss all that shit in the pan and call it a day. Amirite?

>>19730764
>Leaving half your noodles dry and sauceless because you were too lazy to finish them properly

Truly, sauce toppers are low effort retards.

>>19730774
>Dry and sauceless

Lol anon have you ever tried real spagoots and meatballs? Doesn't look like it

>>19730796
Spaghetti and meatballs isn't even an Italian dish. It originated in America.

>>19727106
If you're just putting the sauce on top, then you're supposed to toss it all together before serving.

>>19727106
I just came from Italy.

Some restaurants tossed it for ya, and only one of the restaurants I visited put it on top of otherwise dry pasta.

I think that, if the sauce is saucy and juicy enough you can get away with doing either. If the pasta is more dry, its always better to add pasta water to emulsify while tossing.

tl;dr can go either way but depends on sauce juiciness.

>>19727106
Served on top, so the ester can mix and eat it however they want. I personally like to set aside a bit of plain pasta so I can "mop" up any sauce that's left behind after eating the the rest.

>>19727106
youre supposed to add the pasta to the sauce and then stir in pasta water to make the sauce cling to the noodles

Marie says two scoops of source in the bowl, then add the pasta, then 2 scoops on top and stir, and then a little extra on the top to garnish. don't forget to get your scoops from the bottom of the pot so you don't eat any of the oil that you literally just put into it

>>19727119
My Angel hair moggs your bbw noodles

>>19727119
the best approach with posta is to stain the noodles thoroughly and then have the sauce thicker on top. it's the correct thing.

and spaghatt is satisfying af to eat, you must be shrooming

>>19727106
Spaghetti needs to be moist. No dry starchy parts showing.

>>19727106
I don't get why you wouldn't mix it up after plating, won't the dry pasta start to clump together if left dry?

>>19727123
Hate mixed spaghetti

>>19727292
This is also my favorite sea food

>>19727259
Lol this nigga has to eat his food a certain way or it's ruined rather than being able to enjoy food as they see fit.

>>19727106
I like to mix it up then microwave for long time so top noodles get a bit crunchy and sauce gets absorbed into the noodles.

>>19728278
What is this?

>>19734165
Leftover cheese sauce, made of white cheese powder, cheddar, hot sauce, butter, milk. Bulked out with eggs and more cheese powder mixed with pasta water and black pepper. The meat is conecuh sausage I ran through a food processor to break it up; fried off in a pan before adding to the pasta.

>>19727106
You're supposed to put the sauce from the British Broadcasting Corporation in your mouth

>>19727106
You can do either, and indeed you can also do both. Pic related: put some sauce at the bottom of the dish, mixed some sauce with the pasta, but then all the larger stuff in the pasta I arranged on top.

>>19734876
Wasn't trying for aesthetics here, but still, mixed some guanciale together and put some on top. I guess in theory you don't need to premix the pasta with the carbonara sauce, but that'd be pretty strange.

>>19734882
Pasta with meat sauce, not mixed together.

>>19734884
looks like a homeless person threw up after engorging himself on stolen dog food

>>19734884
Mix it next time. it will look better.

>>19734886
oh my sides... LOL
