Why do Americans think that pasta has to be covered in sauce?

I remember back in the 90's, there was a big trend of oil based sauces, but it never hit the mainstream. Minimalist type sauces are just too subtle, flavor-wise. Americans generally like hearty, filling, food. Oil based sauces are like the antithesis of that.

You're painting in too broad of strokes. There are literally thousands of American restaurants cooking Italian food that do aglio e olio. America might be home to white trash taste, but it's also home to upper-middle class foodie taste.

As the person you were replying to, AND an American, I can tell you with complete certainty that we eat both of those regularly. Do you seriously think we only eat tomato sauce or cream sauce? You're an idiot. Aglio e olio is pretty much a staple, because it's simple and tasty, same with cacio e pepe. Lrn2American.

It's not just restaurants that serve it, people make it themselves, in their homes, you stupid shit.
But, just to fucking entertain your idiocy, here's a place I've eaten at frequently, which serves cacio e pepe, in addition to many other wonderful dishes.

I admit, I used to be one of those ignorant sauce-guzzling Americans

Then recently I started eating Fazolis spaghetti with meatsauce which is fucking delicious.

At first I would mix the sauce and noodles together, because that's what I thought you were supposed to do. But I never had enough sauce when I did it that way, it all was too spread out and I couldn't really get enough in one bite to enjoy the flavor.

Then I just started eating it as served, with the pasta on the bottom and the sauce on top, like some kind of layered cake.

That is SO much better, and I now understand the proper amount of sauce to put on spaghetti

Actually you were right the first time. It should coat the pasta almost completly (usually). your pic is a very american way to serve it. The difference is just the quantity of sauce, usually italian prefer enough to just coat it very lightly as opposed to the drowning in sauce pastas that its easy to find here.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 9 18:28:46 2015 No.6958183 Pasta DOES need a sauce, or else it's just wasted calories. I mean, it's going to be anyway, but it may as well taste good.

I don't even understand why people serve it like pic related.

Your pasta will stick together if you don't. Unless you add a little bit of butter, oil, or periodically add a little bit of the cooking water.

Like... why bother? Just mix it pre-serve!

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 9 19:06:53 2015 No.6958296 >>6957852 Because the human body needs vitamins and sauce has them.

I am American. I use a butter/olive oil "mixture" and mix it in then add some garlic powder, black pepper and love. No, not 3 cups of it to a cup of pasta. I also make my own pasta and drink beer and live in a trailer and use a whirly popper for popcorn. All the cars in the yard run and each has it's own driver. There is no couch on the porches. I don't like spam and cheese whiz. Thanks.

It doesn't have to be, but I do enjoy it better, especially with a good rustic style bread to sop up the extra sauce left on the plate.

Plus I make a home made sauce with lots of veggies. Pasta itself is pretty much just carbs, so a higher sauce to noodle ratio results in more nutrients.
