Hey /ck/.
A lot of Italian imports to the USA are overly heavy and dense; all from lasagna to pasta to pizza, and even putting overemphasis of cheese on salads.
I understand that this is the nature of classic Italian-American food, but I can't imagine that this is all the case for classic Italian cuisine. What are lighter authentic Italian dishes? What region do they come from -- I imagine there must be healthier stuff closer to the coast, reminiscent of Mediterranean cuisine?

Why doesn't the factory mix up the pasta and sauce beforehand?

Try Italian or Greek (or Cretian) seafood if you want lighter Mediterranean.

Literally just look up "southern Italian dishes"
I know you cretinous fags hate everything about Italy that's farther south than like Milan but that's where the delicious light Italian food is.

It would be more expensive to ship!
It's way cheaper for the sauce to come in little baggies, and the pasta to come dry.

The actual plating for that dish is only a little phallic. This was probably just someone in the kitchen fucking around. I used to do that to piss off the driver

Way too much effort to toss the pasta in the sauce when you can just ladle it off the line on top. You want real Italian food don't fucking eat at a West Coast chain.

My grandparents were born in sicily and calabria, in the south if italy
Most of what they eat is simple soups with beans, especially broad beans, with maybe some chicken or fish. They barely even eat pasta these days. When I visited relatives in Italy, the would often have light pastas made with some fresh cherrry tomato, or eggplant/zucchini with some butter or olive oil. They only really got out the tomato sauce for special occasions
Traditionally the mediterannean diet is mostly seafood and vegetables anyway, with light pastas. Heavier pastas with the sauce would probably only be eaten in the winter months
