Depends on my mood! All of the above are good, plus Japanese udon, and real non-instant ramen; also seafood Alfredo. There’s a local Thai place that was serving Khao Soi Gai, a coconut curry chicken soup with noodles that was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, but it looks like it’s currently not on the menu.
@Kyeh dang! hate when that happens. oddly enough i just learned about that dish yesterday when i was looking up recipes for laksa. i wonder if i will start seeing it more and more now…
@jerk_nugget I’m hoping it’s just temporary because of Covid restrictions, since it’s a dish that isn’t as suitable for take-out as some of the others. I’ve never heard of laksa before, but I looked it up and it does sound similar, and delicious. Did you make it?
@Kyeh i hope so too! i haven’t made it yet, just doing the groundwork i want to make the paste that forms the base of the dish myself, so i’ll have to see what’s at the grocery store next trip. i’m lucky in that i think i can find most of it - i know fresh turmeric is there, and i think i have seen galangal but i’m not 100%. already have shrimp paste in the fridge. there’s some kind of nut and leaf i’ll have to substitute, but i think i can make do and come out with something that’s pretty tasty. we’ll see!
@mikebrown2509 Chili comes in a bowl, not sitting on top of spaghetti. Chili doesn’t have cinnamon. Chili doesn’t have chocolate. Cincinnati chili is god awful.
@Lister they sell it in cans where we live. That’s the best that we have to work with in Pittsburgh. We have made the trip just for dinner to the closest one to us which is 2 hours away…
I’m originally from the East Coast, where it’s a common dish, so I never gave it a second thought until my family moved to Indiana. Turns out it never made its way out here (very few Italian-Americans in my area), so all my Hoosier friends think I’m some kind of culinary genius.
Alternatively, pastina. I’m still trying to get my grandma’s recipe right. (Hers involved milk and cheddar cheese.)
i love all noodles! but i picked pad thai because i never get tired of it and it’s not something i can just make whenever i feel like it.
but i really love any sort of pasta, noodle, macaroni, etc. this past grocery cycle i “accidentally” ended up having pasta with half the meals! craving it extra this month, i guess.
@accelerator Should I put that on my “bucket list” for travel? I love the area but haven’t been there for a few years. ABQ and Santa Fe are places I would love to explore some more.
pho
Stir fried Chinese flat noodles
@ironcheftoni Chow Fun!
Mac & cheese.
@yakkoTDI With cut up sausages
San Francisco garlic noodles
Drunken noodles, closely followed by pho.
Spaghetti and meatballs. DanDan noodles. There are other good ones too.
Pasta aglio e olio from Chef. We call it O-lio-lio!
1,000% just straight up spaghetti is the best pasta dish, in my humble opinion
Ramen is Best for speed. Pad Thai is Best for flavor. I wish Meh would make up their minds.
Chicken noodle soup with egg noodles, or pastina swimming in butter.
Chicken alfredo.

@jerk_nugget I hope so!
Ramen, but like, actual ramen.
Not the instant ramen I’ve been living off of during quarantine.
Fettuccine alla nonna. (Alfredo)
I can’t believe that Cincinnati chili made the list but yes! I can’t get enough of that stuff!!
@mikebrown2509, I read on here once: if you think of it as food it okay, but if you think of it as chili then it’s awful.
I have to agree with that.
@kittykat9180 @mikebrown2509 It’s a regional dish folks love to poo-poo, but it’s not bad.

@irishbyblood @kittykat9180 @mikebrown2509 But, it’s not good either. (I live in the 513)
@irishbyblood, funny you use the term poo poo…
@mikebrown2509 I was about to post this same thing. Now I want some Skyline.
@pooflady well that’s your opinion but disagree with most of it
@Lister they sell it in cans where we live. That’s the best that we have to work with in Pittsburgh. We have made the trip just for dinner to the closest one to us which is 2 hours away…
@mikebrown2509 @pooflady I agree with all those points
@mikebrown2509 There are at least three locations within five minutes of my house. I eat it all the time!
Phó sho
What about lasagna? Okay, it’s more about he cheese than the pasta, but so yummy…
[garfield has entered the chat]
Any Pasta Carbonara style, I mean you can hear you heart slows down when you eat it…
@Oldelvis Yes! Plus, you get to use the egg white for a Whiskey sour!
Any pasta al burro (butter and parmesan).

@dannybeans Yes! The very definition of comfort food.
Pasta Gamberetti Angelo

Creamy parmesan sauce over any noodles with shrimp! Hmmmm.
My wife’s lasagna is the best pasta…
@winecaseaholic good answer! (for a happy marriage…)

@accelerator @pmarin ABQ & SF (and in-between) are some of my very favorite places
@pmarin Definitely a great area to explore. I wouldn’t spend much time around Albuquerque though.
@compunaut @pmarin Silver City and the Gila Mountains are a favorite of mine.
Mom’s Thanksgiving leftover turkey with gravy on egg noodles.
