Spaghetti takes up less space than wiggly pasta.

Spaghetti takes up less space than wiggly pasta.

I grew up eating spaghetti, and I liked it, but discovering fancy pasta was a revelation. Rigatoni. Penne. Farfelle, with their natty bow tie appeal. When I started putting aside food, I bought the fun pasta, just because.

The other day, I was picking up pasta on sale and I had a revelation: pound for pound, spaghetti and its unfussy siblings such as fettucine, and vermicelli take up a lot less space.

It only makes sense. Straight, simple, compact. You can fit a LOT of spaghetti into a small space.

So, that’s it for me. Barring the odd box of mac and cheese, I’m going straight and simple.

I only wish I’d thought of it sooner.
