A new survey reveals 44 percent of adults consider eating pasta without sauce “a crime.” The research of 2,000 pasta eaters also found 44 percent call plain pasta eaters boring. Other pasta mistakes include under-salting water (31 percent), overcooking until mushy (27 percent), and cold plates (24 percent). Nine percent oppose adding ketchup to pasta. Social media influences pasta trends, with 13 percent trying new sauces after seeing them online. Twelve percent want to add cottage cheese after viral videos. Despite experimentation, classic recipes remain popular. Bolognese tops preferences at 47 percent, followed by carbonara at 25 percent. Spaghetti leads pasta shapes at 51 percent. (Story URL)
