I have two small kids. I break the spaghetti like this so I don't have to cut up their plates or clean sauce off the ceiling, again...

It works and it makes it easier to portion on plates & prevent my spouse & I from overheating.

In a couple years, when my kids are bigger, hopefully I can return to cooking without snapping...

Yeah, whenever I cook past for my little sister I do that. And also I really don't care about the "original" recipe or whatever. I just like to experiment a bit sometimes.

I'm also big in the experimental department, but breaking spaghetti is kind of weird, since you can buy basically any other form of pasta and it'll be shorter out of the box...

Yeah but if I already have spaghetti at home I would use that instead of going to the grocery store again. (:

OK, kids is an good reason I didn't think of.

But the rest of you snappers (and attempted snappers) are very bad people.

Sometime life give you a small pot and you gotta do what you gotta do.

You could also just buy differently shaped pasta :D
