"Just let them soak anon, they'll get puffy, thats when theyre good"

Soft noodles with no hint of firmness at all. That's how my Italian parents and grandparents make them

>>8615604
Mother used to make macaroni and cheese like that. It just slid down your throat, no need to swallow. Maybe old people like it like that.

Really? In my 3 weeks in Italy pretty much everything but baked pasta dishes had pasta al dente and the majority was amazing food.

>>8615590
Well, you either prefer undercooked or overcooked pasta, so it's just you.

>>8615604
Ok Mr Burgerman just because your dirty grandmother is from Italy don't mean she knows how to cook Italian food. Also eat your pasta how you like your pasta,boil it into a pulp and mash it up to eat with your jar of "red pasta sauce".

I'm italian and the noodles you eat are gross shit.

True pasta is made from semolina not from white flour.

It's just you.

Now come on. Italians make pasta, ravioli or tagliatelle for example using "00" at 100g/egg. Not all pastas are made in all regions of Italy using semolina and you know it.
