13 Things You Can Do With Spaghetti Because You Always Make Too Much

From a gluten-free gal who thinks about noodles often

There are oodles of things you can do with noodles (insert cringe here). Besides eating some delicious variations of Italian food, spaghetti is such a multifaceted, underrated, object that is good for so much more than eating it the traditional way. A viral tweet surfaced that started a thread about all the "cool things to do with all the extra pasta you made because you're single". I didn't scroll down in the thread, but I was surely inspired.

Therefore, I have compiled just a tidbit of things pasta makes pasta-ble. (yikes again).

1. Make Spaghetti Tacos

2. Stir coffee

Save the planet! Check out my article about things we can do to save the Earth! Uncooked pasta makes a great biodegradable coffee stirrer.

3. Walrus teeth

This one was suggested by a friend, I have not had the pleasure of making noodles walrus teeth yet in my lifetime, but I highly recommend it and thought it to be deserving of a place on this list.

4. Lady and the Tramp

A classic. Cuddle up with a cutie and share some spaghetti! What could make a more perfect date night?

5. Sword fight

What better way to play with your food than a REAL food fight! Take those uncooked spaghetti noodles and fight to the death! Well not death, but maybe just hunger.

7. Macaroni art

The staple of any good Kindergarten class. If you were a Picasso with macaroni noodles, you were quite literally the shit. Why not brush up those creative skills?

8. Pick a lock

Again, suggestion from a (sketchy) friend. I have not attempted this, but a little birdie told me it only works with push-in locks.

9. Bathe in it

A nice, hot bath is the best way to wind down at the end of a long day. Got extra noodles? Throw them in for an experience like no other. I've had a dream about it and I'd love someone to make my dreams come true.

10. Put them up your nose

I don't know where I was going with this...sneeze, maybe?

11. Throw it at the ceiling

Does it stick? I think that means it's cooked.

12. Elf spaghetti

My all-time favorite movie displays a twist on a dinner favorite-dessert spaghetti complete with sprinkles, hot fudge, and whipped cream. Along with spaghetti tacos, it is on my bucket list to try this.

13. Moisturize?

I think cooked noodles would make your skin soft if you like, rubbed them together or something. If not, just eat them. I'm out of ideas.

My favorite carb deserves so much more than this attempted tribute. I hope that I revealed at least some of the ways noodles can be utilized in our everyday lives because they are so much more than just food.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
