Restaurants will use butter rather than sauce if you ask. I like chicken ziti and broccoli but hate Alfredo sauce. I’ll ask for butter instead, no problem.

Yes, they will. They will also serve you just a side of broccoli, or just ice cream if you ask. That doesn't mean that just broccoli or just ice cream isn't a surprising thing to be offered as an entire meal when you are expecting lunch.

Also ziti with butter, chicken and broccoli, is very different from ziti with just butter.

This is weird food to serve to invited guests.
I have never ever seen a single restaurant offering pasta with butter in their menu.

The buttered noodles were for the kids. Literally every restaurant I have taken my kids to in the US (except Mexican restaurants) has had buttered noodles on the kids menu. This has also been offered to my kids in restaurants in Europe (not Italy). Where in the world are you dining that you haven't see this before???

Why would someone ask for that lol. I’m not going to a restaurant to spend money to be served a poverty meal.

Op has never come back to this has she?

yes this one meal one time is pretty much a guaranteed death.

OP herself pointed out that this is how her family often eats. So it's not just one meal, one day. I couldn't care less what the kid said that day. I care about OP's general nutrition knowledge.

Did you know that oppressive scolds often suffer from high blood pressure and depression.

Pointing this out does not make me a scold, or oppressive. But I do have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and I am thus hyper-aware of all the bad stuff I ate before I changed my diet. I had many a pasta dinner as well!

That packet of powdered cheese is the magical protein to make it a healthy meal according to American food standards.

It's the magical ingredient that makes it taste good.

Butter tastes good too. Ymmv.

Oh come on. No one on dcum is serving their kids boxed Mac and cheese.

I do! I eat it too.

It’s funny because people in italy eat so much more pasta and drink so much more wine than americans and yet…they live longer. Crazy huh? You don’t care about OPs general nutrition knowledge. You are a know it all narcissist. Also, diabetes from diet choices is extremely genetic. Read a book.
