    This must be a north eastern joke I’m too southern to understand 😅 I know Olive Garden isn’t real Italian but it’s not bad food by any means. It’s just over priced.

      You tellin’ me they don’t eat pasta and meat sauce in Italia?

      Don’t let none of these chuckleheads tell you the OG isn’t Italian. It’s as Italian as apple pie.

      Next they’ll say Fazolis isn’t even a real word, and you shouldn’t cook pasta like french fries.

            I thought that’s genuinely how they did it at high end restaurants to make sure you have a perfectly portioned bit of pasta cooked to the right doneness. I swear I’ve seen this method on Hell’s Kitchen.

            Granted, I may be thinking about something else vs what you’re talking about but still.

        Don’t be too hard on them. If they’re living in the south, they have much bigger problems to deal with!
