This is why Italians do not break spaghetti before cooking

One of the most common habits when cooking spaghetti is to break it in half before adding it to the pot.

While this may seem convenient, in fact, it is not.

There's a reason Italians never do that and cook them as they are.

The reason spaghetti is prepared without breaking is that this way we can wrap it completely around the fork.

If you break them, you can't wrap them properly around the fork afterwards. In addition, Italians believe that such a thing brings bad luck.
