How to Eat Pasta

There are many types of pasta; some are difficult to eat and some are easy to eat. Types of pasta you can find include spaghetti, linguine, shells, egg noodles, fettuccine, penne and elbows, to name a few. Spaghetti and linguine rank among the more difficult pastas to eat, but there are methods you can use to make it easier.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Cut the spaghetti. Although some people cringe when they see you eat spaghetti this way, it is the easiest method. When you cut it up you can just scoop the pasta onto your fork and eat it.
2. Twirl the spaghetti. Use your fork to twirl the spaghetti around it until the strands wrap around your fork and you can put it into your mouth without any of it hanging out. This can take some time because the pasta doesn't want to go around your fork. Be patient.
3. Use a spoon to twirl the spaghetti around your fork. This is the most acceptable method of eating your pasta. Put some of the spaghetti on your fork and using the spoon start to twirl the spaghetti around your fork. Keep doing this until you have the pasta wrapped tightly around your fork and then put the spaghetti into your mouth.
4. Combine the methods of eating pasta. You can cut some of your pasta, you can twirl some of your pasta or you can use a spoon to wrap the pasta around your fork. Eating should be something you are comfortable with--eat pasta your way.
5. Decide to use one of the shorter pastas such as elbows or shells. This avoids the whole problem of eating strands of pasta.
