No, but the pasta still tastes like pasta. 

[Rik]

Pasta is meant to - it's the sauces that count. (Even then, there are flavoured pastas...)

[Simon]

Ah, now you're changing the goalposts, and talking about the sauces.  So, my argument that pasta is pasta still stands.   

[Rik]

But a pasta dish is how you eat it, ie with sauce. No pasta alone tastes like lasagne, after all.

[Simon]

Still don't like it. 

[Rik]

So what exactly don't you like? Do you like noodles with Chinese food?

[Simon]

I guess it's not fair to say I don't like it, it's just that I prefer more spicy foods.  Most Italian dishes are not *hot* spicy, and always seem to taste of nothing much but tomato to me.  I had a mushroom something-or-other starter yesterday, which was vegetable stuffed mushrooms, but the sauce just made it taste like Ravioli with mushrooms.

[Rik]

Most Italian dishes are tomato based, and very few use the hot spices, so I guess you're better off sticking to DR and the far east.

[Simon]

I think so. 

[Rik]

I, otoh, am much safer in the Med.

The Blessed Delia has a good recipe for spag bol.  Extremely tasty and easy to follow.
