i hate al dente pasta

okay

>>21672786 (OP)
then you aren't cooking it al dente. al dente means to the tooth. which means your tooth, which mean how YOU like it. it doesn't mean just slightly crunchy.

Al dente doesn't mean 'crunchy' to anyone.

‘al dente' literally means all teeth, referencing a time when pasta was made from the teeth of the swine which lived near rome. That pasta of course had to be cooked longer than modern flour-based pasta. Many italians still prefer the tougher texture of yore.

You are a weak-jawed homosexual. And also probably Asian.

Asians (east Asians (Koreans and Japs)) have a strong aversion to any food with bite to it.

I learned something today. Thanks

real italian niggas cook different pastas different ways
i like my cavatappi al dente
i like my spaghetti soft
i like my shells somewhere between soft and al dente

This. I only eat soggy noodles whenever I lose my dentures and I have to eat something

You know it's done when it sticks to the wall!

Sorry but where did you get this information? It is completely wrong and al dente does not mean all teeth, "all" in Italian is translated with "tutto". The term al dente indicates the consistence of the pasta, which is firmer when you cook it a few minutes less, that's it. Retard.

sorry to burst your bubble but I got that from the culinary school I attended

>>21674232
Sorry to bust your bubble, but the culinary school you attended should really stick to cooking instead of making up wrong translations from other languages and teach you wrong, made up facts. You should ask for a refund.

Is there a single post with this man not followed up by a luke warm retard take?
You are NOT brave for saying this

>>21674563
As most memes retards completely misunderstand it. Like the chad/virgin, that is done wrongly so, so often, as is this one.

>>21673882
Thats some AI tier bullshit
>all teeth, though
Why are you even alive, terminate yourself already

>>21673882
'al dente' actually means 'like a teeth" referring to the tooth like shape of original pasta.

>>21672786 (OP)
I freely admit that I actually prefer severely overcooked pasta –big whoop you reddit refugee fucks, sue me–...
...
My wife however likes her pasta "Al piano wire-o"... It really does fit in with the rest of her "balls to the wall psycho" personality though, so there's that...

You tried.
>"Al dente" is an Italian phrase meaning "to the tooth," describing food, typically pasta or rice, that is cooked to be firm to the bite rather than soft or mushy
>that is cooked to be firm to the bite rather than soft or mushy

Just go "al forno" and you'll hopefully get the best -worst- of both worlds...
Half soggy porridge half mini jawbreakers...yum

>>21675628
Like I said, sue me...

You will be judged before god.

‘al dente' was just a brand of toothpaste invented by Mussolini
