In
Italy, food is an emotional experience that engages all senses.
Every meal is a celebration, and pasta is such an important
part of the meal.
“Al dente” is preferred because it enhances
the eating experience: mushy pasta is just not enjoyable.
At the same time, the firmness of pasta allows you to taste
pasta better. Pasta is architecture for the mouth. It makes
you realize what you are eating, and being aware of the pasta
shape is important as it adds to the mouthfeel of the dish.
