Italians won't forgive: why you shouldn't break spaghetti before cooking

Italians are known to be very particular about the process of preparing spaghetti.

They follow a special technique that requires not breaking the spaghetti before cooking.

Why it is worth following the example of the Italians and giving up the habit of breaking spaghetti, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker.

Why you shouldn't break spaghetti

Firstly, broken spaghetti can stick together and become unappetizing.

Secondly, Italians eat spaghetti using not only a fork, but also a spoon.

A fork is needed to roll the spaghetti, a spoon is needed to prevent the sauce from dripping.

If you break the spaghetti, you won't be able to wrap it around a fork.
