But pasta has flavor! Didn't you ever have it plain? It's a mild flavor, but flavor nonetheless. This is why I sometimes just sprinkle Romano cheese on it, or just use a little bit of sauce. And you have to use salt when you cook the pasta.

More importantly, though---it has a texture like nothing else. I like it al dente.

When I was little, I swore that "when I grow up, I'm gonna have spaghetti every day". And when I was finally on my own, I kinda did. I probably ate it 4 nights out of the week. There was also pizza and burritos and chili and McDonalds burgers I needed to eat.

So when you put salt in the cooking water, isn't it basically the salt you're tasing?

I used to love to eat cold, plain pasta.

At the mom & pop Italian restaurant my best friend and I worked at in HS, we'd cook these huge pots of spaghetti. Portioning was done by taking a handful of cooked pasta, setting it in a big flat pan, then twirling it into a "cake" about the size of a large roll. 

After it got cold in the cooler, it would stiffen up into something you could just pick up and toss into a wire basket then immerse into a pot of hot water that sat on the stove all day, when someone ordered it.

A couple of times, I'd take one of those cold spaghetti "cakes" and just chow into it like a sandwich or something.

I'd eat leftover plain pasta at home, too.

When my mom made spaghetti, she'd make and serve the pasta and the sauce in separate bowls so you could sauce your pasta the way you wanted to.

There would always be leftover pasta which would then become spaghetti sauteed with butter, pepper etc.

My mother had it mixed in together in a big bowl AND she had a separate bowl of sauce on the side. I think it was so that the spaghetti didn't stick together.

But no, the salt brings out the flavor of the pasta.

Other tips:
Don't rinse off the starch. You'll lose flavor.
Don't throw oil into the pot when you're cooking it. It'll make the spaghetti slippery and cause the sauce to slide off.

I like the spaghetti cakes. Didn't some company come out with spaghett on a stick a few years ago?

Pasta and olive oil is good, too. It's called pasta aiolo, and is pronounce pasta ayool. You've probably heard of that.

The "cakes" were made by taking the handful or cooked spaghetti you put on the pan and using all your fingers and thumb kind of like the tines of a fork and twirling. Sort of like screwing/unscrewing a jar lid. 

You could pack them up against each other then, after they were cold, you could just pick one up. 

It was like a really large pan of cinnamon rolls....

No, I've heard of pasta fazoul.

But not aiolo.

I think the two sisters who with their husbands owned and ran the place, were Southern Italians.

Different kind of food than Northern Italians, FWIU.

Mostly tomato based sauces, etc.

They did a spaghetti with clam sauce, too.

And a really good veal scallopini. 

The veal dishes were the only things we couldn't eat.

Especially the fried veal and peppers.

I used to occasionally sneak a little bite of veal scallopini when I'd go into the walk-in cooler to get something. 

Even cold, it was good. Tongue

Actually, you don't. Salt helps the water boil faster, and it raises your sodium intake. I'd rather wait a little longer for the water to boil. The resulting pasta is just fine.

I must be a heathen when I cook spaghetti! I don't add salt or oil - just gently boil until the spaghetti is al dente and drain, never rinse. Serve with homemade Big Batch Spaghetti Sauce and chow down! Our farmers markets didn't have very nice local fresh tomatoes this year, so I had to substitute (gasp) canned San Marzano organic tomatoes. Not bad.

Are you thinking of pasta aioli, and/or pasta aglio ed olio (garlic and olive oil)?

I just buy premade sauce in a jar.

"Drop" (meaning the release of a new record or song) has been a recording industry term for years. It's not so new. I've always assumed it had something to do with "drop shipment." In the US, Tuesdays have been the traditional days for recording "drops."

Yeah, I might have the name wrong. I thought that was what my Italian aunts called it.

And I never really think of it as one particular thing. It's always pasta and oil, but I usually put onions and garlic and basil and ground sausage and maybe even a little butter into the mix as well. Smells as good cooking as it tastes.

I don't mind the Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl most songs I like...not every single one though. 

Didn't know that.

Obviousy I'm not an avid music follower.

Blissfully stuck in the past with the music I grew up on. LOL


Same for me for the most part, Foo Fighters are a products from the mid 90's and have stuck with me somewhat. Dave the former drummer of Nirvana - which I was a big fan. I listen to mostly 60s-90s music...very little 00's bands, artists I still listen to. Almost nothing from '10s-'20s. I could not tell you what is "hip" today. I guess Adele? (just from news blips I see) I don't listen to her music. 

FF last album this past Summer was eh...so-so though. They did release a EP under a different name "Dee Gees," odd tribute that came out of nowhere to The Bee Gees. (Didn't bug me that much, Jesus Christ my mom would play Bee Gees, other random artists  disco vinyl on K-TEL records - oh, and The Beatles, The Four Seasons in my house when I was a kid...so that kinda grew on me πŸ˜†)



*AND I hate the term "drop." (ex. So and So's new album drops this Friday) Oh STFU and just say "release."

Like a lot of rock fans from my generation, I have come to like a lot of the disco we used to sneer at in the 70's.
.
I love the song Night Fever and that tribute they did was spot on, though I'm disappointed they didn't "Foo" it up a bit.... maybe some more guitar distortion, transition the high pitched vocals to more of a rough edged vocal thing mid-song, etc. 

Dee-Gees is a funny take on the Bee Gees, but I woulda been tempted to call it the Foo Gees if I were Grohl & Co.

I've found a good amount of contemporsry music I like. The lower-end-of-the-dial, non-commercial station I listen to features DJs that get one 2 or 3-hour time slot/week, during which they play whatever they like. Lotsa old stuff, new stuff, known artists, unknown artists, etc.

Here's one of the shows I listened to yesterday, on and off. It featured the DJ's interview with Colin Blunstone, thus the emphasis on the Zombies and related acts.
