I break the pasta so it'll fucking fit in the fucking bowl; leave me alone!
Have you tried just tossing it in whole? It gets soft, then you can fit it in.
And before anyone complains that that takes too long, it' takes like 30 seconds. If waiting that long is gonna ruin your pasta night it's already fucked.
I like it broken in half. It's more manageable to eat without flinging sauce all over the place.
Then half of it will be slightly more cooked than the other. Small issue, sure, but bigger issue than not keeping every strand twice as long which doesn't benefit anything whatsoever.
It does if you twirl your fork to collect the spaghetti. The longer stands form a ball of sauce and noodles with only a few stands. If the noodles are half as long, they may not stay twirled, can flop around more, and require more stands to reach the same size. More mess, more work.
Also, I would challenge you to tell which end of the pasta went in first. Actually, it would be a challenge to even find a way to test that...
And because I don't want to deal with 12" long noodles while eating.
