He's so gross to look at. ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ๐Ÿคฎ

His head shape is so weird. Look at it from the side. It's fucking rhombus-shaped. Combined with his forward tilt he looks like some kind of ghoul.

the trump stained tupperware is specifically for in-laws to take leftovers home in

Missed opportunity for "trumpoware"

Spaghetti doesnt do this. The red sauce does.

Mom: Can you put the leftover spaghetti in a tupperware, please?

Me: sure (proceeds)

Mom: No, no, honey, just the actual spaghetti pasta, not the sauce it's forever-entwined-with, lest we ruin a meme.

Me: (in therapy)

Iโ€™m sorry, you put back the spaghetti unlaundered?

[โ€“] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Personally if I'm going to have leftover spaghetti, I only mix pasta and sauce one portion at a time, and store them separately.

The real pros know to only refrigerate the sauce and make more pasta as needed.

[โ€“] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

This is the way.

I boil a couple of gallons of water on Sunday and freeze it for the rest of the week so I can quickly make new pasta.

[โ€“] stepintomydojo@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You should try dehydrating your boiling water so it's quicker when you need it, instead of having to wait for it to defrost.

Last time I did that I burnt the bottom out of my best stock pot.

[โ€“] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

The trick is to take it off the stove the second the last molecule of water evaporates.

Evaporates?

Iโ€™m trying to dehydrate it.

As if I'm running out of pasta before sauce

[โ€“] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Someone on Reddit mentioned once that their friend puts sauce on spaghetti, mixes the sauce in, and then rinses the spaghetti with water so only a hint of the sauce taste remains.

[โ€“] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 3 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I usually find it better to store them separately, since whenever I store them mixed together, the sauce seems to absorb into the noodles, making the noodles soggy and the sauce dry and not saucy.

[โ€“] FireRetardant@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

It also allows people to have their own sauce to noodle ratio when served and stored this way.

[โ€“] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (3 children)

How the hell would you store unsauced spaghetti without it all sticking together?

[โ€“] 69420@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Literally any liquid will do, but olive oil is typical. Adding water before you reheat works too in a pinch.

I usually find that upon reheating it stops sticking so much? Ive not really had much issue with that unless I'm trying to eat it cold, which isnt very enjoyable anyway.

[โ€“] sangriaferret@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Save some pasta water and heat it in a pan with the noodles and they should separate. Add sauce and reheat the whole thing in the pan.

[โ€“] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Sounds like my method of adding sauce to spaghetti right after cooking is considerably simpler. Seeing as I'd want that sauce when I'm eating later anyway.

Try putting the tiniest drizzle of olive oil on the pasta after draining it but before saucing it

[โ€“] darkdemize@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You mix the noodles and the sauce in the same pot?

[โ€“] mysticpickle@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Isn't the sauce already mixed in with the noodles when you dump it out of the can? ๐Ÿค”

Your award for pedantry will be arriving soon.

Thank you, i don't usually eat spaghetti with tomato sauce, so you helped me understand the meme.

[โ€“] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"Spaghetti" is often shorthand for spaghetti marinara.

[โ€“] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago

Thank you, morph ball gannon at lemmy nsfw.

[โ€“] obvs@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wipe it dry with dry paper towels before you wash it with soap and water. No stains!

[โ€“] BanMe@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

All that manual effort, eww. A quick spray with Pam before it hits the dishwasher makes it pristine, gives the stain something to bond to so the soap can take it away.
