    I have absolutely done that in the past, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. I can slice off exactly how much I want, getting a good feeling for the portion size. The noodles stick together, there is no unfurling and subsequent mess when transferring them to a dish. They’ll loosen up a bit when heated, but stick together enough to offer a superior eating experience - just cut a piece off and consume.

      Me too. What are you supposed to do? Extra work?

      I furl each strand carefully? Soak in hot water and have slimey spaghetti? Lick the entire bundle slowly till it warms up and unfurls? Rest on bosom until it unfurls?

    I always mix the leftover pasta with the leftover sauce when I store it.

    That doesn’t prevent me from scooping out a portion this way, but at least the pasta isn’t a brick.

      How can you eat it like a cookie if it’s not a sliced brick? ;-P

        Hell no! Not about the toaster but I’m just eating it unflavored. Its one of my childhood favorites. If I added anything to it it would be a little salsa.

    Who the fuck stores plain pasta like that? It was already a giant gelatinous cube the moment you refrigerated it.

    Also people please cook your pasta in the tomato sauce. Drain the pasta a minute or two before your preferred tenderness and then cook the pasta in the tomato sauce. It’s so much better.

    This would absolutely be my husband if he opened a container like that. Scooped a hole in the middle of the brownies I made a few weeks ago.
