You are serving yourself pasta and you have zero access to tomato sauce. All you have in your pantry is ketchup (catsup.) Would you eat the plain pasta, or add ketchup for flavor?

You have NO ACCESS to tomato sauce. You cannot leave to buy any, you cannot call a friend to bring you any, you cannot order any, you cannot make your own sauce, and any other bizarre loophole. It is what it is. What do you do?

    Pesto Pasta it is! Alternatively I could go for a nice white or cheese sauce, or if those are all cheating answers well seasoned butter noodles are a good simple dish. 🍝

    If the ingredients were around, I’d cover it in butter and garlic powder. Otherwise I’d go plain before I did ketchup. Disclaimer: I’m not a big tomato sauce fan, but I don’t dislike it either.

    If my only options are literally (I’m assuming cooked) pasta plain, or with ketchup added, I’d 200 percent eat just the pasta.

    Personally, I would use the ketchup. This post is adapted from experience from when I once had no tomato sauce and used ketchup and got hooked. Sometimes when there isn’t enough sauce I add ketchup to the pot. I turned this into a dare question like this because apparently this is a food sin, like pineapple on pizza.

    (Which I also enjoy.)
