Depends on the dish and if you're a retard that runs ice water after straining. But also, spaghetti noodles are fucking lame.

I like whole grain breads, porridges, biscuits, etc. but whole grain pasta just doesn't work. The bran doesn't have enough time to soften before the rest of the pasta gets mushy. Maybe if you soak the pasta for a while like you would dry beans, the bran will soften enough when you cook it.

Pic related is okay, but it doesn't have the same chewiness because there's less gluten. Still better than regular whole grain pasta though if you really want something a little healthier.

>>9827582

More like whole gay-n
Pasta was never meant to be whole grain.

>>9827731
>>9827707
can't we agree that all of Europe is pretty fucking gay?

At least it kinda tastes like pasta.
Bought this gluten free shit once and didn't notice.

Never had worse pasta. It fell apart when i mixed in the sauce. Also tasted like ass.

>>9827731
Italian guidos literally invented the Metrosexual look. It doesn't get much gayer than that.

Germans are degenerate but at least it's generally consensual women-on-man poop domination.

>>9827598
Same. Homophobes need to die.

Guaranteed closeted faggot homophobe. He'd fit right in among the evangelicals. Glad I saw this, will never buy barilla again.

>>9827771
Yet here you are...

>>9827771

>>9827743
no, my father has worked in the fashion industry for years and I never heard him nominate metrosexual fashion

If by "guido" you're referring to italo-americans, well, they are as italian as meatball spaghetti are

>>9827582
Pasta al dente is horrible. I always boil my pasta until its edible. Only Italians can somehow come up with the stupid idea that half-raw pasta "tastes better".

>>9828041
That's almost like americans claiming half cooked meat is somehow better.

>>9827582
Barilla really is garbage, worse than store-brand pasta made domestically, and definitely not worth the premium they charge for "Made in Italy" sticker on it.

De Cecco all the way.

>>9828091
Have not tried De Cecco so I would not know but I prefer Barilla because its anti-homosexual.

>I purchase inferior product that tastes bad just because the exec of the company shares my political view in one area when this would make zero actual impact

The Romans were right. Showing your superiority by irrumating and fucking men in the ass isn't gay. It's only gay when there are feelings.

>>9828120
>I pretend a product is better because I disagree with something the other brand's boss said

>>9827603
The reason Americans see pasta as unhealthy is because they eat way too fucking much of it and nothing else. Five pounds of pasgeti and a whole bottle of store-brand marinara isn't a wholesome meal. A 100 g serving of regular durum semolina pasta is quite filling, only around 400 calories and already fairly protein-rich for a cereal product. The red lentil pastas and stuff for protein junkies I get but this obsession with whole grain shit just baffles me.

>The reason Americans see pasta as unhealthy is because they eat way too fucking much of it and nothing else.
Not entirely, it's also because people started moving away from refined grains. You don't lose much of the protein by refining wheat, but you do lose fiber and some other nutrients. The "more protein" thing is just a marketing gimmick, if you tell people it has more folic acid they won't care too much. You can mostly negate the downsides to eating refined grains by serving a healthy sauce and having a salad or something with your pasta, but it's still a refined grain product that's lost some of its nutrition.

>>9827598
gays love slurping dacecco

>>9828091
I haven't really noticed any difference between Barilla and Wal-Mart brand pasta. There's only a noticeable difference when you start getting into the pastas that are like $4/lb+

Al dente just means it isn't soft. It's sort of subjective anyway, but it's when the white center of the pasta has disappeared meaning it's just fully cooked and still firm. Some people like their pasta undercooked, but al dente is fully cooked.

>>9827598
I found an even better pasta for you my friend

>>9828743
What is the appeal of crunchy/hard pasta? Seriously. Doesn't that go against the whole idea of pasta? Fucking dumb. Fuck al dente

>>9828168
>The reason Americans see pasta as unhealthy is because they eat way too fucking much of it and nothing else.
Incorrect. It's because the types of flour used to mass produce it here is literally unhealthy. It has no nutrients in it and the nutrients have to be artificially added to it (enriched) for it to be legally considered food. Even with the artificially added nutrients though, both the nutrients and the flour lack complexity and absorb to the body way too quickly which results in it being very fattening while having the added nutrients just being being expelled through the urine.

>>9828788
Did you even read the post you're responding to? Al dente is fully cooked, but just still firm. Not crunchy/hard, that is undercooked. And some people like it cooked until it's soft and barely holding together requiring almost no chewing.

I found maggots and dead bugs in my barilla spaghetti, on two separate occassions. At least the customer service lady gave me a free coupon

You are wrong. Look up al dente on Google. Al dente means "for the teeth" and the term is used for food that is under-cooked.

>Molto al dente is the culinary term for slightly undercooked pasta.

>When cooking commercial pasta, the al dente phase occurs right after the white of the pasta center disappears.
i.e. cooking until there's no more raw flour, not undercooked

>Also known as pasta that is neither too hard nor too soft.

So having one night stands with women isn't straight?

>>9828754

But what if you're a lesbo or asexual?

>>9833150
It's neither straight nor gay if there's no affection or attraction and it's just for gratification or self-esteem or whatever. You're just masturbating using the other person.

You realize that there are at least 16 confirmed cases of it just in American politics right? It's a real phenomenon.

>>9827589
Lately Ive just been buying the walmart brand pasta and I dont even notice a difference.

>>9827700
Well I'm not eating it plain. I make my own bolognese full of lean meat andvegies and I use a lot of sauce for my pasta.

I just have to eat other foods for my fiber, but thats ok. I have a oatmeal/walnut/raisin cookie recipie thats high in fiber.

>>9834964
I'd probably be a lot happier if I was one. Everything about sex with other people sucks except those few seconds at the end.

>>9830527
I was close enough considering that I dont speak Italian and simply used my multiple-lingual skills to interpret al dente. Bet you dont know Latin at all, retard.

>>9836819
I legit heard a girl in my HS Latin class complain that we had to learn that stupid language because they only speak it in Latin American anyway.
Good thing for her she was incredibly hot because I don't think her brain would get her far.

Whole grain pasta is trash, might as well just buy black bean pasta.

>Enriched Flour Tops List of Unhealthy Ingredients
>Enriched flour is flour in which most of the natural vitamins and minerals have been extracted. This is done in order to give bread a finer texture and increase shelf life.
>When the bran and the germ (the parts of the wheat that contain fiber and nutrients) are removed, your body absorbs wheat differently. Instead of being a slow process that gives you steady bursts of energy, your body breaks down enriched flour more quickly, which typically raises blood sugar more quickly as well.
>This excess blood sugar has to be metabolized by the liver, and if there’s an excess of sugar, your body will store some of it as fat.

>>9827752
I agree. It's 2017, we can be proud to be gay. Gay pride worldwide.
