If there is one thing I do, time and again, when I’m stressed, it’s stuffing my face with food because nothing brings comfort like food. And for me, that food is pasta. If there’s a comfort dish I go back to whenever things feel a bit much, it HAS to be pasta. Give it to me in any shape, any sauce, and I will empty that bowl with tears very much involved. I genuinely think all of Italy deserves a raise for coming up with something this reliable.
Talking about pasta got me thinking, every pasta shape is basically a coping mechanism. Some hold it together, some spiral immediately, and some just absorb everything and keep going. So I did what comes easiest to me: I made a quiz out of the tiny, annoying problems that push you over the edge for absolutely no good reason. We’ve already told you what kind of bread you are, what kind of onion you are, and now, it’s time to find out which pasta shape represents your coping skills. Get through these situations, and I’ll tell you exactly which pasta you turn into under pressure. 🍝
