Cold Pasta - does anybody eat it?

[Norholt]

I'd eat my own pasta, cold.

 

It's someone else's cold pasta I find less appealing. Like the dashboard ketchup trove, the stuff has an uncertain history, and there's nowhere for the absent flavour not to hide.

 

(For a pasta sauce that retains it's character in tepid climes, you have to start by dissolving a couple of anchovies in a splash of oil. And perhaps add a spray of mustard seeds. Followed by a dash of balsamic. Then you're winning.)

Changed my eating habits (and drinking) until Xmas...lost nearly one stone!

 

What have you changed?

Perhaps getting closer here -- at least your building flavour in.....

I have been trying pasta with fried off pepper and parmesan - which seems to be classic italian recipe - but it's not thrilling me

Cold baked beans, cold spaghetti, cold pasta.. I've even been known to smash a cold curry/naan the next morning. I'd have pizza/curry for brekkie over cereal any day...

Cold pasta with tuna, red onion etc, but it's gotta be moist!

Hey now, what's wrong with garlic bread?

 

 

 

I found Marmite at a specialty shop a couple weeks ago, and tasted a spoon of it. OMG. Might have been the worst thing I have ever tasted. How do you guys turn your noses up at cold pasta or garlic bread but eat Marmite????

 

 

You should try English mustard... I dare you to do a spoonful of that

If I am willing to try Marmite, I am willing to try about anything, no?

 

I hate yellow American mustard, English can only be an improvement. Is it hot?

Yes, English mustard is definitely hot

 

Though I will say you tried marmite wrong. Spread it on toasted crumpets and melt cheese on top!

So, according to scientist Dr Denise Robertson, from the University of Surrey, if you cook and cool pasta down then your body will treat it much more like fibre, creating a smaller glucose peak and helping feed the good bacteria that reside down in your gut. You will also absorb fewer calories, making this a win-win situation.

Somehow, you made Marmite sound delicious. Is that even possible?
