When I think of "sauce mixed in", I am thinking of a pot of spaghetti that just has sauce dumped in there and... mixed in. Is that how you folks who mix it in do it?
I scoop out a portion of pasta for my plate, and then pour a ladel of sauce over it. So the way Nicky does it.

I honestly cannot imagine having spaghetti with just sauce. I always have spaghetti bolognaise, what with the mince. xD Ah well.
also why are half you calling spaghetti noodles. noodles are noodles spaghetti is spaghetti ._.
And now spaghetti is no longer a word.
Pasta with sauce mixed in and pasta with sauce on the side/on top are basically two different types of meals and they're both good in their own ways. Why do I have to choose? Am I the only one who varies preparation from time to time?
Edit:
This is the weirdest thing but I kinda wanna try it now.Later, w leftover sauce, I'll do like my mom does and put it on a hot dog.
Nope, I totally do too! Certain pastas have to be mixed, it's the only way to prepare it. Every pasta I had in Italy had the pasta mixed in with the sauce. For me, it just depends on whether I've made a big batch of pasta or a single portion. If it's a big batch, I'll separate the sauce and the pasta and just top the pasta as I need to when I'm eating it. If it's a single portion, I will mix everything together, along with some pasta water. That's the trick you guys, the magic secret trick to restaurant quality pasta. It's all in the pasta water!Originally Posted by Pantz

Seriously.Spaghetti = pasta = noodle.
But for most Americans, when they think spaghetti it's always spaghetti + a tomato sauce. It's how I thought of it growing up, I thought the word spaghetti itself meant specifically a pasta dish with tomato sauce. These days one of my favorite spaghetti dishes is spaghetti primavera: http://www.saveur.com/article/Recipe...etti-Primavera
I will concede that they are the same thing (spag/noodle), but I have legit never heard anyone refer to spaghetti as noodles in my entire life. xD I always find revelations like this interesting in the way we word things differently.
I've never heard anyone call pasta noodles until I met Del Murder. To me, noodles has specific Asian connotations. IE: raman noodles.
Yes! Just saving like, a dl (half a cup) of water before you drain it and then mixing it back in makes a big difference.
I probably mix in sauce more often than not, but when I've made the pasta separately, one of my favourite finishes is olive oil and garlic. It makes the whole kitchen smell AMAZING and it tastes so good!
I think you and I should host a dinner party Rantz Pantz. We see eye to eye on all the food stuff.
Spaghetti, and macaroni, and ravioli, and... well, you could go on for quite a long time listing pasta shapes, but they are all distinct things. If someone says "spaghetti" I am going to assume they mean one specific thing.
Asian "noodles" and Italian "noodles" are all noodles. Ramen is arguably closer to spaghetti than it is to udon, and they certainly aren't soba, etc.
Yep, same here. I just had a quick google search and spaghetti being the same as noodles was all over the place, so I decided that I'd admit defeat on a point nobody was contesting at this time. I know the internet well enough.
Re: noodles, in daily usage that word just means instant noodles to me, although I've noticed recipes calling any elongated pasta, such as spaghetti or lasagna plates "noodles".
Pretty sure you're 10x the cook I am, but YES!I think you and I should host a dinner party Rantz Pantz. We see eye to eye on all the food stuff.
Can confirm that Rantz is an amazing cook and I'm pretty sure I gained like ten pounds from his delicious dishes when I went to Sweden.
I don't get what you're confused about
