[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m surprised by the Italian people saying this is a normal meal for them. A friend of mine who is a visiting diplomat from Italy has remarked multiple times how she was shocked how much pasta Americans eat at meals. She claimed that in Italy, the pasta is usually just 1/4 to 1/3 of the plate, with most of the rest being veggies and then small protein. Also, they obviously eat fresh pasta not the processed junk most of us eat. She looks amazing so I assumed what she said was true.

I do think pasta and sauce or butter/noodles is a bit strange as a meal, but I also think it’s strange to come here to ask about it (I guess that’s what anon forums are for though so I need to get over that). I usually serve a side of steamed broccoli and/or soup (literally always have this in fridge). [/quote]

Haha no way! Every Italian I know eats th same boxed “processed junk” we do. They are specific about brands but no working Italian is rolling pasta every night in their kitchen a they go for convenience just like we do.[/quote]
