In Italy, do they use a lot of sauce on spaghetti?!
I've heard two people say they don't use much sauce on spaghetti in Italy!. They just barely use enough to flavor the pasta!.
But my mom said her neighbors, who were from Italy, used to use a lot of sauce!.
I'm wondering if it's regional!. Maybe they put more sauce in some parts of Italy and less sauce in other parts!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
