Sure, pasta doesn’t have to get involved, but I’m gonna involve it anyway. I fucking love pasta and garlic bread.
Eating more calories than you burn makes you fat. Skinny people ate bread for millinia.
It’s a scene in a fun movie, not a dietitian’s thesis.
It does beg the question of my garlic bread and pasta “go together”. Pasta, butter, bread, garlic and tomatoes is NOT a meal.
Anything’s a meal if you eat enough of it
Any meal is a dildo if you try to eat enough of it.
Is this actually a combination to the rest of the world? If this is just a US thing, maybe it’s from the “low fat” diet that made us all fat
I don’t know about the rest of the world, but this meal has very little protein or fiber in it. I think there can be value to fat, but if a meal is mostly fat and carbs… Then can it really be that good for you? Won’t you be hungry again in an hour?
Throughout most of my life ….
- everyone pushed the “food pyramid” as a guide to healthy choices, but that was way overweighted in carbs
- general recommendation was to eat less fat to lose weight and improve cardiovascular health…. But that fat tended to be replaced by more carbs
- eating less meat was pushed for a variety of “health” reasons, so replacing meat with more carbs must be good, right?
We’ve had decades of poor nutritional recommendations, even poorer habits, and corporations pushing “healthy” options that are not. It’s been getting a bit better, all too slowly, but we have a couple generations facing the consequences of poor eating
In my humble opinion it’s not carbs that are the boogey man, but particularly the ones in the pasta and bread you normally buy at the store. White bread.
I think if you had a little more Quinoa and potatoes and skipped the beef, you’d be in a better place than eating beef meatballs, tomato sauce, and white pasta. My two cents.
Everything is a trade off, to a degree.
Most heavily processed foods can make you fat, because they’re typically very high cal for their total mass.
Shit, I’m gonna make some soft sourdough loaves for this very purpose this weekend
That’s the part I’m lacking. Store bought sliced bread is not the same
Basic bread is really easy to make. Humans have been doing it for dozens of millennia. I do get a bit fancy these days and use a bowl, spoon, a bit of salt, and a temperature-controlled oven, though. Otherwise it’s just water and flour.

You can use natural yeast that’s just floating around, too, so that’s not even necessarily a separate ingredient.
Hell you don’t even need yeast at all. You can make a great flatbread in 30 minutes with just flour, salt, and water. Add some olive oil and baking soda to take it to the next level.
Since it’s a Mastodon post, why not just cross-post it than a screenshot? ActivityPub should let you do that over Lemmy.
You actually can’t. I think you should be able to, but currently you can’t. You can post from Masto to Lemmy by tagging the Lemmy community in the top level post, but tagging in a reply does nothing
In fact actually you can’t even really crosspost from Lemmy to Lemmy. Posts that link to the same thing are lists as cross posts, but aren’t actually directly related. Text-only posts can’t be recognized as crossposts at all
¯\_(ツ)_/¯what the other guy said + the fact that nothing inplies that the op actually saw the mastodon post instead of just a screenshoto f it which they forwarded here
You can also make garlic confit. Basically, cooking garlic submerged in a neutral oil. Then spread it on bread/toast, top with some cheese, and broil it in the oven until melted.
Bonus garlic flavored oil as a byproduct!
Or just garlic butter, which is about as easy as it gets. Ideally with a garlic press. You can pretty much also add any spices or herbs you want / have to it too.
Hmmm. Lose weight, or enjoy endless garlic bread.
Are there any side effects other than obesity and hyperlipidemia?
The main side effect, other than those two, is having yourself a really great time.
Garlic breath
That’s a perk.
pasta doesn’t even need to get involved
Yeah but that nosey little prick always has to involve themselves.
Of course the Italians had to jump in.
If someone served a Cheeseburger to them, they’d be screeching “This is not a proper Italian Cheeseburger!”
This logic is why I’m currently in the processing of making ice cream at home, and even pondering making some chocolate peppermint crinkle cookies to go with the ice cream!
