I wish they would offer a soup and salad pass. That's all I ever order when I am forced to eat there. |

Hey I've been there many times. Their salad and soups are very good. However my post was targeted most likely at someone who will not be eating the two aforementioned food categories and will be eating bowl after endless bowl of lasagna with sausages. lol
Not a big fan of any of the pasts I've had there, they tend to cook it much more than I cook pasta. |

I'm honestly not sure why chain restaurants constantly overcook pasta. Is there a very short window between perfectly cooked and overcooked? Even if so, you'd imagine they have it down to a science.

The only reason you get soft pasta in a restaurant is because it was deliberately overcooked.

Not for standard wheat pasta. It takes 2-3 minutes to get from al dente to soft and for most shapes no one is going to notice an extra 30 seconds, which is an eternity in a busy kitchen with a chirping timer.

You don't know what overcooked pasta is until you've been hospitalized.
