Shaming is one extreme but surely there is some aspect of tradition. Personally I am a little snobbish with pasta because I have seen a lot of people with just no respect for pasta as a culinary experience. E.g. it's just carbs to shovel crap on, without appreciating other aspects of what make pasta good. Same with any food really. Also I don't understand why some people are super attached to "overcooked" pasta. Growing up I ate overcooked pasta and then, later, learnt to like it al dente. Maybe yall are yet to have a really spectacular pasta that changes the game for you?
