I like pasta but I don’t LOVE it. My favourite way to eat pasta is literally plain with a sprinkling of salt. I also love it uncooked and like crunching away on it but my dh doesn’t allow me to anymore as it gives me awful belly ache, I sneak the odd raw piece while I prepare it for myself or the kids.
The thought of a pasta bake makes me want to throw up though, I’ve never eaten one though so I am unreasonable for that, it’s more the appearance and what I perceive the texture to be like that makes me unable to try it.
My children also adore it plain, no sauce at all. Dd is autistic and cannot stand any sauce, ds is awaiting assessment and will tolerate some sauce - he likes ketchup and gravy but pasta has to be plain, no pasta sauces at all. He will have tomato soup on it though 🤔 I highly suspect I am autistic too, the more I have learnt with having autistic children the more I recognise in myself especially when it comes to food and sensory issues.
Sorry, that was awfully long and went off on a tangent!
So to sum up I like pasta but as some PPs have said Potatoes are sent from heaven itself.
