Call me bourgeoise. Call me low class. But don't call me for that bs that has been foisted on us for far too long: pasta served al dente or as I like to call it al tough and tasteless.
The name should give you a clue: to the tooth. Since when do we cook for the tooth? What about cooking it some more and calling it al lingua, to the tongue.
Oh hell yes. This is the most intelligent thing anyone has said about food in AGES. I've loved pasta my whole life but certainly not al dente.
