I’d choose pasta without hesitation 🍝
There’s just so much character in it. A simple aglio e olio, silky carbonara, or cold soba-style pasta salad keeps dinners exciting.

I remember a month in Rome living almost entirely on different pastas, yet never feeling bored. Rice is amazing, especially in Japanese cuisine, but pasta gives me more playful textures and sauces for a whole month.

Rice is a bit more versatile, it can go with just about anything.


I do love pasta but usually stay away from carbs altogether.


Unless I need the energy boost

[ElenaLena]

Do you know how to cook 🙂

[Zack-Bann]

Never met a recipe I couldn’t incarnate 😏

[ElenaLena]

Impressive.. what is your favorite dish to make 🙂

[Zack-Bann]

Anything you’d wanna eat with me 👌🏼
(Also anything with mushroom sauce)

[ElenaLena]

I’ll let you choose.. I like mushroom sauce as well 😋
But do you like avocado by any chance 😄

[Zack-Bann]

Absolutely. Both sweet and salty.

[ElenaLena]

Awesome.. I love avocados 😄

[lilBigPotato]

I like both but if I can only choose one, pasta. Could have also added potatoes as great carb source 🙃

[ElenaLena]

Sounds delicious 😄🙃

[DryGermanGuy]

Spanish risotto dishes have chopped potato pieces, no? 🤔

[lilBigPotato]

@DryGermanGuy if you mean actual risotto, no not really. We might add chorizo or other things but potatoes would be quite uncommon. If you mean something like arroz meloso, anything goes honestly but of course there are some popular variations.

[DryGermanGuy]

Hmmmm, okay, I'm probably confusing several dishes then. But I will find out the next time I'll visit Las Palmas! 🙂👍

[Joshydavid25]

Pasta because you can make spaghetti or fettuccine.. 😋😋.. Two of my favorite pasta dishes.. I feel like I will never get tired of fettuccine..

[ElenaLena]

How do you make it “fettuccine” 🙂

[Joshydavid25]

Weeeeeeeelll.

[Joshydavid25]

JK.. You wet the noodles, make some Alfredo sauce, mix em together, maybe add some meat, a couple of veggies, and there you have it!.. Fettuccine..

[ElenaLena]

Sounds delicious 😄😋

[Joshydavid25]

Aw yeah just as yummy as-

[RavVid]

With different sauces, there is a lot of variety with pasta. Rice just gets gluggy with too much liquid.

[ElenaLena]

You don’t know how to cook it 😌😄

[ohsheeT]

I love pasta but potatoes pastas even rice if I have too much of it it does something to my body and my body doesn't want to work right so I would have rather have the rice I can do more with it and I don't think it's as bad for me I don't I'm not sure though and I'm not going to test it find out usually I would rather test to figure it out but I think I've already figured this one out before

[Nikki1989]

Rice. I eat rice a few days a week already.

[ElenaLena]

Team rice 😊

[Iron_Man]

I would get tired of rice very quickly. Just plain old white rice and butter doesn’t do it for me. That would get old fast and I’ve noticed that white rice in a Chinese restaurant is extremely dry and boring. I like their pork fried rice. I would have to go with the pasta but put some Italian meat sauce to make it flavored.

Who is Tony?

[ElenaLena]

I reported your comment and I removed your replies because you attacked me out of nowhere and for no reason.. if you don’t like it, skip my questions as simple as that..

[ElenaLena]

I don’t tolerate people who feel entitled..

[Iron_Man]

I don’t care what you did you’re targeting me and you know who Tony is

[ElenaLena]

You’ve been officially blocked.. congrats

[Likes2drive]

Probably pasta because there’s all different types of pasta and rice does get pretty boring at times

[ElenaLena]

Fair point 🙂

[BonzoInBitburg]

I prefer pasta because I make my own but my wife is Asian and she has rice 3 meals a day 365 days a year.

[purplepoppy]

Rice because you can serve it with curry or any sauce based dish. Pasta isn't as flexible as an ingredient.

[lightbulb27]

changes as I aged. early life pasta, later life rice.

[Wemix]

I can't live without noodles/ramen come one

[ElenaLena]

Ramen is good.. yeah 😋

[exitseven]

I like rice. lots of fiber.

[ElenaLena]

Absolutely..

[lightbulb27]

what, are you going chinese on us? lol

[exitseven]

@lightbulb27 I only buy rice made in USA,

[Danny_dan92]

Pasta. It has more protein

[ElenaLena]

That’s right..

[Danny_dan92]

Granted it also has more carbs… so you’d have to balance it out

[ElenaLena]

I like both.. I more of a rice person tho 😄

[Danny_dan92]

Yeah, I like massaging the rice in water to get all the starch out tho

[MrChinaski]

pizza!

[ElenaLena]

Nahhhh 😌😄
