My mother (I love her so very much) makes this wonderful sauce and amazing meatballs whenever we get together… but she uses Angel Hair (which I like) and RINSES THE NOODLES BEFORE SERVING. Doesn’t finish the noodles in the sauce, just rinses the shit out of of em and plops the sauce on top, which all falls to the bottom of the plate.
When I make pasta, I use the squiggliest noodles I can find (Radiatore?) and finish the pasta with some pasta water and pasta sauce.
About to insult all of Italy - Spaghetti.
Inconvenient to eat and doesn’t hold the sauce well.
I like linguine. It gives the sauce traction.
Spaghetti is perfect for carbonara, most other sauces not so much.
Italians would say it’s a skill issue 😛 In truth is likely wrong sauce or too liquid perhaps not the right consistency.
