#5. Break that damn spaghetti in half before cooking! 1/3rd length is even better. And meatballs should be no bigger than a golf ball. Also, there should should be no "chunks" of tomato in the sauce.
My mother-in-law insisted on Chef Boyardee. We bought her a case of it just before she passed. I guess if the SHTF, we'll be able to eat Spaghetti-Os. 🤮
Breaking spaghetti in half before throwing it in the boiling water is SACRILEDGE. It only takes about 30 seconds for the noodles to soften so that the whole bunch slides into pot and they are all done at the same time.
Forks and spoons where invented to facilitate eating spaghetti. You use those implements to twirl the spaghetti onto the fork before eating the noodles. I agree on the size of the meatballs. After frying, they need to spend about an hour minimum in slowly simmering spaghetti sauce to enhance their flavor.
Amen on the pasta, Nemo. Myself, I start my meat and sauce early in the morning and let it simmer all day long to get the flavors and spices blended in. I don't care if the meat breaks down into smaller chunks, which it almost always does.
# 11 I leave out all but the last step every time. Saves a lot of effort that ends in disappointment. It's a lot harder to ruin cast iron, but I still can.
After hearing bubbleheads endlessly talk about how wonderful they are, I never could think of them as The Silent Service again. Unlike the rest of the fleet, they were able to instantly pass their problem children onto, well, the rest of us.
