Eating pasta outside is expensive. We can cook it ourselves as it is a very easy process. Cooking it ourselves means that we can put whatever ingredients and use whatever sauce we want. I remember once when I had pasta in a restaurant, my plate of pasta had to be sent back to the kitchen as it was so dry. Oh my, the chef was so stingy with the sauce. This will definitely not happen with my own cooking.
