Sauce On Top Or Sauce Mixed In?

Mixed in. Sauce on top is a clear sign that the pasta wasn't finished by cooking it in the sauce.

mixed.

Sherlock Holmes is right

You're supposed to sauté the pasta in the sauce a little, so mixed in.
Then just put however much or little as you like on top afterward.

A bit half and half, mostly mixed, but I enjoy the taste of pasta alone (especially fresh) so I don't object to some unsauced bites.

Pasta finished in the sauce is how I roll. I don't want to see unsauced pasta on the plate.

How do you mix in the sauce properly? I mean, it`s piss easy when it`s ketchup, but when i`m making a sauce from ground meat, the meat spreads very uneven in the pasta.

then mix it in

Reserve about a half a cup of the water you cooked the pasta in, then mix the pasta and the sauce with it in the pot.

The starch in the cooking water helps everything stick to the pasta.

It tastes like pasta minus all that is good about it. Holy shit into the trash tit goes.
