Spices, Pasta, and Scooby Doo
Pasta shapes matter.It's a tongue thing, a squish thing. Vin and I argued about this at the grocery store last night. They were out of SpongeBob SquarePants Mac n' Cheese, and I wouldn't take any other kind.
"What the hells the difference?" Vinwas saying.
"They don't hold in the spices the same, forget it!" I said.
"Just take it. C'mon." Etc.
"What the hell do you know about pasta, Mr. Meat Man?"
On and on. I was halfway down the aisle, when he threw a box into the cart.
"It's Scooby Doo-shaped, Babe. You can't go wrong with Scooby."
Whatever. Okay, it worked great. (Of course I didn't tell Vin that.) He took a bite of mine, and wanted his own bowl with hot dogs and ketchup.
Below is Masala Mac n' Cheese (easy recipe here) It takes the same amount of time as making a regular box. I love it. I always eat Mac this way, so that I don't feel the need to add extra cheese.
