Yesterday, my daughter and I went out to buy a book which she really wanted, and since we're in a mall, we ate in a restaurant... we both choose pasta as our food, my daughter chose carbonara and I chose tomato-based spaghetti... we both had a great time eating one of our favorite meals... how about you, which do you prefer, white sauce or red sauce pasta and what makes you chose it?

Hi! I both love the red sauce and white sauce in a pasta.So it depends on my mood of which to order if i'm out or which to cook if i'm home.I just love the creaminess of the white sauce and the sour taste of the red sauce.

When you say " white sauce" did you mean the Alfredo Cheese sauce? . If you meant Alfredo sauce then I like the white sauce better. I also like it when the Roma sauce ( tomato based sauce) and Alfredo sauce is combine together, it makes a totally different type of sauce then and yes, it's delicious!My husband worked at one of our cities best Italian restaurant for years and I think I have tried almost every type of Italian sauce around . I do like Roma sauce, I'm just picky about it, if it don't have a lot of garlic, Italian seasoning & mushrooms & if it's too bitter I don't care for it too much.. We don't eat at Italian restaurants very much since my husband can make better Italian food then the average Italian restaurant in the city.. He has massive cooking skills sometimes, hehe

I don't think I've ever had spagetti with white sauce...I've had egg noodles in white sauce...I think it's called alfredo. I like my spagetti with red sauce and meatballs and a little parm cheese on top...ok, alot of parm cheese on top LOL [b]MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! ~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

Hi Nhey, after finish shopping, my son, my husband and I would like to have lunch in one of the restaurant there. We would never choose any pasta as our lunch there. What we prefer most is one of the popular foods served there, toasted cheese rice. Both my husband and I would like to choose seafood cheese rice as our lunch whereas my son loves veggies cheese rice. My husband loves to eat hot and spicy food very much so he usually would like to add a lot of spicy chili sauce to his cheese rice. My son and I just love the original taste of the rice so we only spread a little bit of crashed dried shrimp paste onto the rice. After finish eating the rice we usually would order a piece of cheese cake and a piece of chocolate cake. We then share the desserts together with our favorite drinks respectively. posting and have a nice day.

We like to visit this small restaurant which is owned by a Chinese couple. The Taiwanese lady married to the local business man in my place here and they started the business 3 years back when their kids grown up. We then have the opportunity to taste the delicious Taiwanese foods served there like the toasted cheese rice and many other yummy dishes and desserts served there. Take care and posting.

Anything would be fine for me but, given a chance to choose, I'd rather eat the one with tomato sauce since that seems better for anyone's health and it kind'a tastes better to me than the other pasta that you daughter ate.. though, who wouldn't mind eating?

i always choose to eat pasta in red sauce every time we eat in the restaurant, but one time when my husband invite me to have a dinner in his favorite restaurant, he said that he will be the one to order the dishes. He ordered a 2 servings of carbonara and i start to argue him in the restaurant for i dont like to eat carbonara but he wants me to try the said ordered food. And yes when i start to eat the food i like the taste. and from that day i always order carbonara because it is yummy.

I remain to a pasta with red sauce or tomato sauce. And to add more I am a pasta lover. I like to eat spaghetti and all foods with pasta. I also like soup in macaroni lasagna all kinds of menu using pasta. Some times I like carbonara.

I like both cream-based and tomato-based spaghetti. And I love them more when they are mixed together to create a creamy, sweet, and tangy sauce topped with lots of parmessan and mozzarella cheeses. Yummy.

I love white sauce. More cheesy the more good! Once in a while I just let loose without thinking about the pounds.

I eat red type sauces at home all the time. My family is not fond of alfredo sauce so when we eat out, I usually get some kind of alfredo dish (pasta alfredo, or chicken alfredo etc.)

Well white sauce is ok but i prefer the red sauced pasta. It's something i can't live without. I love red sauce because of the soury taste of it. You know, it's like pancit, some people put catsup on it. The pasta in spaghetti blends well with the meat especially meatballs and sausages.

What I like in a pasta is the white sauce. I don't like much on the tomato or the red sauce though I eat sometimes. I like the white sauce because it is creamy and with the cheese on it. I like the taste also compare to the red sauce. It maybe, I usually eat a pasta with a red sauce and this time, I like the white sauce for a change of taste.

I definitely prefer red sauce. I think this is mostly because I don't like the taste of Alredo sauce at all. It's way to creamy and rich for me. I know many people love it, but I really just can't make myself eat it. And even though, not all white sauces are Alfredo, I can't quite get past the fact that they look similar. I love pasta, but I pretty much always stick to red sauce.

well, at least you know what you really want... though at times, it's not bad to taste other kinds of pasta even if they're not our choices... :)
