First topic message reminder :

nothing, i hear you say, you pop it in a pan of boiling water and serve when ready.
I made spaghetti bolognaise the other night, put the spaghetti in to cook, after 6 minutes turned to glue or the consistency of wall paper paste ::
the instructions are all in bulgarian, so that did not help.
we looked at all our packets of spaghetti and found a red packet series number 11 and a blue packet series number 5. i never knew there was different spaghetti but it looks like there is a wide range of spaghetti.

so which colour code and serial number do you need for spaghetti bolognaise and what are the other types of spaghetti used for.

Spaghetti that Italian is it not ? The Greeks they smash plates dont they , Bulgaria never seen a Spaghetti bush here . What am i trying to say horses for courses mamma mia stick to the Italian stuff .

according to history, the arabs had pasta in the 5th century and introduced it to italy in the 9th century. that would make it an arab dish [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] the marco polo myth that he brought spaghetti from china in the 12th century has been dismissed.

a history lesson on a monday, unless anyone knows more.

Yes no problem with my Italian pasta , you must be cooking it the Arab way , who are the inventors of polycell after all .
