Serious comment on a shitpost community, but the easiest fix I found to pasta that sticks too much was to just buy better quality noodles. The cheapest stuff would stick like nothing else, while Barilla or any pasta cut on bronze dies never did.
Oh no, absolutely. I realize in hindsight my wording implies that. As someone else commented here, I also consider them the bare minimum. Anything less than that and it’s awful noodles with no sauce adhesion or starch released.
The Al Bronzo brand of Barilla does taste better, imo, but not worth the extra cost. I’ve never had a problem with the regular stuff sticking as long as I salt the pot and stir occasionally.
It’s absolutely not, they just have a high marketing budget. They didn’t even use bronze dies until they introduced a new product line not that long ago.

Barilla isn’t a better quality pasta. Change my mind

Italian here. Barilla is considered the bare minimum. Its not a high quality pasta, although they have a bronze cut kind which I never tried.

I’m pasta-ignorant. How does the material of the cutting tool affect the final product?
Bronze cutting is slower (so less efficient) but being slower make the pasta more “rough” and not smooth. This makes sauce stick more to it
Their quantities are also too little tbh
I believe they have 1kg options
I can’t find them in stores, maybe they are in fancier stores like Rosetto or sum
It’s fair IMO. There are worse, there are better.
Barilla are shitty homophobes.

Rummo is the best mass produced pasta I know.
