Budget childhood meal. Parsley from the garden, clams from a can. All out of linguine but sauce holding Fusilli was available.
Cost per person: $3.33 It, um,used to be cheaper. But canned protein costs have grown faster than inflation over the last 4 decades.
I never liked spaghetti and preferred linguine as easier to fork up, but the older I get the more I like rotini for its sauce grabbing properties.
I liked angel hair because it cooked faster. But these days I’m reaching more and more for the rotini for that sauce hold.
