I personally don't break spaghetti, but a friend of mine once asked what difference it would make for taste and consistency, and i didn't have an answer.
I have answers for both, Pasta cooks according to thickness, not length. If breaking the Pasta allows it to be submerged entirely, it will only aid it in cooking evenly.
Next break a fucking donut in half and ask if that changes the flavor.
Yeah, but it feels wrong.
Valid, I'm not gonna tell you how to feel and I want you to do what feels right.
like pasta, i guess it depends on the donut. like, breaking an eclair in half the wrong way so all the bavarian custard falls out. that would make me sad and change the flavor (too much salt)
From the cooking standpoint: none. But it might make a physical difference, since shorter spaghetti are hard to roll up on a fork, and might hold sauce differently.
