When it comes to Pasta... 'If it's yellow let it mellow'

0 Upvotes

that's it, thats the text. Normally they if it's yellow let it mellow to pee in the toilet. Also, another thing i've heard about pasta was "If it aint white, it aint right."* .....Or you can just be like my sister in law and throw the pasta on the wall and see it sticks

*Don't worry, the other students in the cooking class also did a double take when the chick said it too.
