Not necessarily an American thing, but that's why those people do retarded shit like rinsing their pasta or putting oil in the pasta water.

>americans

There's many different kinds of Americans, come on.

I dunno about the rest of the country, but we do mix it. It's just that when we serve it we scoop the noodles onto our plate then add sauce and meatballs (or ground beef inna sauce, usually). Sit down at the table, then we mix it, add a little shedded parmesan on top and enjoy. It's best when you have garlic bread, 'cause you can sponge up some of the sauce with the bread once you're done with the noodles.

How do you do spagget, Owe Pee?

Poverty, it's affectionately referred to as grandmother style . Poor immigrants tend to do one pot cooking

Retard.

Pasta and meat are seperate dishes numbnuts. Cooking the meat in the sauce and serving it together with the pasta is a radical departure from the etiquette of Italian cuisine .

It's a presentation thing.

What about chicken cacciatorre? Checkmate, Guido!

Spaghetti bolognese

>>8947823
Am I the only one that likes the contrast of sauced vs unsauced noodle? Hell sometimes I leave some spaghetti in the collander to let it cool and get sticky and eat it by itself.

>>8948632
served with bread or pasta on the side

>>8948731
>Spaghetti bolognese

a dish of unclear british or american origin is relevant how?

Silly anons, it's Italian, not Asian.

>>8947860
I see, that explains a few things linked indeed

>>8948805
Same. I wouldn't eat spaghetti if me mum mixed it all together beforehand. Disgusting.

>>8949107
Thats some nice autism

I don't like a lot of sauce in my pasta and I also don't like eating leftover pasta. So mixing my shit together would just lead to a shitty dinner and shitty leftovers for me.

I don't see the problem

>>8947823
The fuck is wrong with some people? Do you not put a tiny bit of butter in with your pasta after draining it? Adds a bit of flavor and keeps it from sticking while you serve. No need to race and mix it with your sauce or whatever.

This is fucking basic, you stupid NEET.

>>8949066
spgahetti carbonera, or a ragu

>>8947823
bait and saged. why do you people respond to this trash?

>>8947823
People don't know shit about cooking

It's a good question retard

LELELELEL LOK AT ME I SAGE STUF STOP ME :DDDDD

>>8947823
I think it's just a presentation thing. Everybody I know mixes it all together.

I'm Italian and the way we do it is just add a few ladles of sauce to the pasta in a pan once it's drained just to coat it and so it doesn't stick. Then you have a small bowl of sauce at the table so you an add more if you want.

>>8951178
i can deal with that, but shouldt a dish - in the end - be good to eat? if the presentation damages the result heavily i see no point

>m-muh autentico

>>8951206
Not necessarily, I mean with most dishes you take a bit of everything with each bite. You don't blend it all together and, unless you're autistic, you don't finish each part in turn.

>>8951279

That's not a "dish," it's a conglomeration of separately prepared individual food items placed onto a single plate.

Pasta and sauce is analagous to salad and dressing, not a roast dinner. Would you say not to mix salad? That would be retarded.

And holy hell those peas and carrots look like misery. Fucking Anglos will never learn.

>there are people walking around on Earth RIGHT NOW who don't slightly undercook their pasta and then mix it with the sauce, ensuring maximum flavor absorption and sauce adherence

>>8950455

Adding butter will lubricate the surface of the pasta which will stop the sauce from sticking to it as much as it will stop the pasta from sticking to itself. Fuckface.

>Why do Americans

The better question is: why the fuck are Italians doing it? It's pages like this.
