Don't like these questions normally whatever. I'm not the biggest
pasta person. I'm just not.

Then why are you asking? What are you talking about?
I'm so confused over anything hand picked because it's so good.
But then you're not the biggest pasta that doesn't make.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
Anything very often. But it just all depends on the
sauce and what you're doing with it, Like I can't.

a red Marin Aarra sauce.

Speaker 5 (08:27):

Okay, I like a bow type with a cold pasta
like pasta.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Sound if we're doing like a sauce, you give me
like a little cavatelli.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
That's the little ears.

Speaker 6 (08:45):

about sort of Italian pastas. You know what else is pasta?

I'm a sassa bitch, okay, because of my pasta choice.
That that all being said, my number one pasta is
my absolute favorite, which is what Thor just brought up.

I bite in. There's all the sauce in that one.
You know what's talking about talk about tube things squirting
his mouth. I go, yeah, I didn't appreciate that at all.
I feel like it does hold the sauce though. Better point,

That's a problem because I just want a tiny bit
of marinera. Most cream sauces. Uh My mom made stuff
shells growing up, like all the time. I loved that. Yeah,
you know, lots of rocotta in there. But if I
have every pasta on a menu, I normally go niokioki okay,

can just do it little drips.
