[NFB-InTheKitchen] tips for eating pasta

[peter acosta]

Here is another thought about eating pasta…

I was taught to eat pasta by putting the fork into the pasta and twirling the fork so the pasta wraps itself around the fork.
This will only work with pasta types that are long noodles.
This is easy to do and if you are not careful you may have a forkful of pasta that is too large…
This is considered proper etiquette.

I love pasta but I often have trouble getting it on the fork/spoon and then keeping it on the utensil. I’m not talking about long stringy noodles either; I’m simply talking about macaroni and cheese and flat noodles (like Penn) with Alfredo sauce. My dad makes pasta and Alfredo sauce (no not from scratch) and I don’t have trouble eating this or the frozen meals that you simply heat up in the microwave; it’s with eating pasta in restaurants that serve it in large bowls and pasta that we order that comes in the food delivery containers (especially in large ones) that I mainly struggle with but I don’t want to just plain stop these sorts of things as they’re nice treats sometimes. I often have to get help from someone; I know they don’t mind but it’s really frustrating when you have trouble simply eating food. Any suggestions? Look forward to anything that anyone can provide me!!
