    In before people try to quote the stupid cube rule of food. That is one set of opinions that people try to claim as objective truth. The cube rule is not fact, it is opinion backed up by a poorly constructed model. By all conventional measures, a hotdog is a sandwich.

      Potatos are the starch (like rice and beans). Gravy is the mole.

      Beef Wellington is just a bland imperial burrito.

      I have identified a problem.

      According to cube rule, an entire pumpkin pie is a quiche, while a serving of pumpkin pie is toast.

      This means that something like “pumpkin pie” cannot be classified without specifying “whole” or “single serving.” I would posit that foods should always be identified by their single serving unit, but I don’t see that sorted here.

        If you look at the various pastas in the store they are mostly labeled macaroni product, from elbow macaroni, to rigatoni, to linguine, and shells. Spaghetti, and Lasagna aren’t labeled macaroni products, but are made from the same pasta dough.

    Going with no, at least if you require the “pasta” to be the same thing for both, ingredients wise.

    Please notice how the spaghetti have no egg (uovo) in the ingredients, as opposed to the lasagna.

        If you are talking about Lasagne - the pasta type and not the finished product, you would be right in saying you can find it both with eggs and without, by the article it says it is a north/south thing in Italy. But honestly you can find thousands of variations of them even moving just a few dozens kilometer.

        On the contrary to be spaghetti and not something else they need to be - to directly quote - “a special pasta format made exclusively from durum wheat semolina and water, with a long, thin shape and round cross section.”

        I’m not sure if it is the same outside of Italy. But at the end just do what makes you happy.

        Fair, but neither is the regular kind. Generally speaking, lasagna, tagliatelle: eggs. Spaghetti, fusilli, penne and so on: no eggs.

        Edit: actually, might be worth pointing out that this is in Italy. It’s true that recipes can change wildly in different countries…
