Over Thinking: Pasta
Everyone eats it. Okay, maybe not everyone, but the majority of people have eaten it. Often when they cannot be bothered to cook a ‘proper’ meal or wait for it to be ready, they just pop in some pasta and 10 minutes later it is done! But is pasta really a student type meal, or can it be taken seriously as a meal.
And yes, I do actually worry that pasta is being bullied by other meals for not being complicated enough. Call me weird, but I do. You just throw (or place, but throwing is more fun) some into a pot and wait for it to go all soft. Chuck (or pour) in some sauce, mix and you are done! Often it will be complimented with a side dish of bread of perhpas chicken.
And that is my point exactly. Does anyone eat pasta on it’s own anymore? I personally see it as a meal in itself, but many people no longer see it. I blame all these cook shows on TV!
