honestly i feel like alfredo sauce plus soy sauce might actually be possible to make work, but you'd need to know what you're doing and get the mixture just right

@fluffy @rey yeah it's hard to go wrong with a marinara (unless it's too chunky. we don't like chunky marinara)

@Felthry @rey I’ll go with seasoned butter or oil for a more delicately flavored pasta though, like mushroom ravioli or black garlic fettuccine

@fluffy @rey I don't think we've ever tried black garlic!

@Felthry @rey oh it’s very good! I made a bunch of black garlic myself and it’s wonderful in homemade pasta. Kind of a lot of effort to go to though.

@fluffy @rey *made* it??

*ducks it*

Oh, okay. I thought we were talking about _Allium nigrum_, also called black garlic

@Felthry @rey oh no I mean the fermented kind

@fluffy @rey yeah i'm not sure A. nigrum is even edible. reportedly it doesn't smell like either onion or garlic, which is odd for an allium species; i'd assume it tastes like neither as well

@Felthry @rey yeah I hadn't heard of the one you thought it was before, but it's described as being "ornamental" so I'm guessing it's not good eats.

https://beesbuzz.biz/food/3512-Sous-vide-black-garlic is how I went about fermenting garlic over the course of 45 days or so.

@Felthry Oh and also I always put butter on as well if I'm doing tomato sauce pasta. Salted butter flavor is an addiction lol

@Felthry I voted pesto... but in complete honesty, I've grown to prefer curry as a sauce.

@JulieSqveakaroo Interesting idea! Like a garam masala based sauce or something? or just, actual curry, meat and vegetables and all?

@Felthry

Some tikka masala, or some spinach paneer over noodles is great!

@Felthry On the topic of seemingly-joking-but-actually-serious answers, I know people who say mayo on pasta is really good. Never tried it myself, though!
