Ding.

Oh thank goodness, something more interesting than a colander is here.

You’ve arrived in a room full of pasta!

Lovely, yummy pasta!

Unless, of course, you’re on a gluten-free diet. In which case we really haven’t given you anything you can eat as-is, have we?

…Sorry about that. I’ll have to talk to my boss about getting more salad rooms in here. Or maybe a steak room. Unless you’re vegetarian. In which case a steak room wouldn’t be all that great.

Anyways! Which one will you eat?

The herbs are probably oregano and/or basil. It looks… incredibly dry and boring.

Look, I know there’s a lot to be said about a well-made piece of spaghetti, and carbohydrates release dopamine into our brains, making us happy. So there’s nothing wrong with this dish. It’s just boring. Comparatively.

Yep.

To be honest, I’m not a big pasta eater. I’m more of a rice person. So if I don’t correctly identify some of these dishes, I apologize.

Anyways, I think that’s ravioli. It’s too big to be tortellini. Isn’t ravioli square, though? Honestly, to me it looks like a boiled empanada. With canned corn on it.

Wouldn’t be my first choice.

Well, the pasta itself looks like angel hair, which is my favorite type of pasta, so yay. But as for the sauce… Looks like it might have tomatoes in it? And herbs? Certainly some olive oil, that’s for sure.

But the image is blurry as heck, and I can’t for the life of me figure out any real details.

Like I said, I’m not really a pasta person. I’m sure there’s a real name for this, but I have no idea what it is. I also have very little interest in googling it, so I guess I’ll never know what it’s called.

It looks pretty good, though. I’d try it.

Again, I don’t really know pasta. This looks kinda like the pasta itself is orange or red, instead of having been dyed by a sauce.

And it has parmesan on it! Looks like it has some kind of red pepper on it, too, meaning it’s probably nice and spicy.

I’d try it.

I have several questions. All of them beginning with why.

Just, all the why’s.

Why would someone do this? What did pizza ever do to deserve being topped with spaghetti? Why would you bake spaghetti?

And to top it all, it looks like there are peas on top.

So, pizza. Topped with spaghetti. Topped with peas.

All the why.

Ok, I know that this isn’t a plate of nachos.

But hell if I know what it is.

I mean, it looks good? It’s got basil on top, which is always a plus. Well, usually a plus.

I’d try it.

At least, that’s how google docs thinks it’s spelled. Could have sworn that there wasn’t an E at the end.

It looks like it has that creamy white sauce on top, the sauce that I absolutely know the name of. Absolutely. It’s on the tip of my tongue.

It’s… yep, it’s a sauce. Typically made with fettuccine. Mm-hmm.

That’s going to be bothering me all week.

I don’t know. I eat rice, ok? Sticky rice, Mexican rice, brown rice, black rice that’s kinda blue and was traditionally grown for Chinese emperors. At least, that’s what it said on the back of the package of black rice that I got once. Jasmine rice, wild rice, basmati, fried rice… The most pasta-y thing I eat on a regular basis is couscous, which some people confuse for a type of rice.

That and ramen, because I’m not made of money, and ramen cooks basically instantly.

But the thing in the picture is most certainly not ramen.

It looks significantly tastier than ramen from the dollar store.

I’d try it.

You eat your fill of pasta, and lean back.

Delicious.

Now what?
