You don’t even need to be Italian to understand the logical flaw in breaking spaghetti. There are countless forms of pasta, in varying shapes and sizes. Why buy a long pasta, like spaghetti, only to break it into shorter pieces? Just buy Fideo cut.
If you want spaghetti, but don’t own a large pot, just buy or make fresh spaghetti. It’s softer than dried spaghetti, so it will go right into the water no problem.
You could also just let half of the noodle cook in the water a bit to get soft as you press the rest in and it'll curve until its all submerged, then you can add your Vienna sausages and ketchup to finish it off
breaking spaghetti like this IS a crime. the little pieces fly everywhere. everyone should know to just push the unopened box against the counter edge to keep from making a mess.
I cannot imagine for one nanosecond that the MOST ITALIAN MAN EVER (aka Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito) would break his pasta like some sort of savage.
