For many, pasta is one of the most popular products, since it can be used to prepare a good side dish without much difficulty and in minimal time.

We are used to eating pasta with sausages, cutlets and gravy, sometimes with fried minced meat.

Other options are also allowed, since everything depends on taste. Spaghetti can be called a universal product, since the side dish goes well with almost everything.

However, some housewives make a huge mistake when cooking them - they break the pasta because it seems too big for the pan.

Why you shouldn't do this

First of all, it is worth evaluating the experience of Italian chefs, who can safely be considered experts in the field of pasta cooking. They will never break pasta, as this will significantly reduce the quality of the dish.

First of all, "short" spaghetti will be inconvenient to eat.

But there is a more important reason that we sometimes don't think about. Violating the integrity of the spaghetti will cause the starch to be released faster.

As a result, the side dish will stick together and will not look the most appetizing.
