    I personally don’t break spaghetti, but a friend of mine once asked what difference it would make for taste and consistency, and i didn’t have an answer.

      From the cooking standpoint: none. But it might make a physical difference, since shorter spaghetti are hard to roll up on a fork, and might hold sauce differently.

      I have answers for both, Pasta cooks according to thickness, not length. If breaking the Pasta allows it to be submerged entirely, it will only aid it in cooking evenly.

      Next break a fucking donut in half and ask if that changes the flavor.
