ORIGINAL: LaTigresse It appears we have concluded that rigatoni is the most submissive of pastas. My personal struggle tends to be lasagna noodles. Those pesky things try to jump out of the pan, stick to the pan, jump out of the colander into the sink, EVEN......get the brattiness of this !!!.........they have even tried sliding out of my hands!! I got so frustrated one time I almost cooked some spagetti noodles to beat the lasagna noodles into submission with. Fortunately my dog Bella was on hand to snatch the wayward lasagna noodle off the floor ending its life of topping from.......below........for good. I would suggest that the way to get your lasagna noodle to submit is to not provide it any warm up prior to play. This just makes it all limp and whiny while you attempt to make it bend to your will. Put its hard-assed inflexible self in the pan, cover it with spinach / ricotta / mozarella cheese blend with a couple of eggs in it, then ladle copious (and somewhat watery, the noodle will soak it all up) sauce over the whole thing. Throw its Smart Assed Macaroni-wannabe self in the oven. Viola, the pasta will be in sub space on your plate in no time. Just me, could be wrong, etc. Sinergy
