Which one would you prefer? Red or White sauce on your pasta? I am more of a White sauce pasta kinda guy. I am alone on this one or you also like them or still go for the red sauce? Why?

hi etongong! i just love pasta... period. -lol- kidding aside, i love both the red and white sauce. at home, the kids' favorite is the spaghetti with red meaty sauce... hands down. it's a bestseller for my nephews and nieces especially on family gatherings and occasions we host at home. but for a few of us kids at heart, who also like the white sauce, i usually cook carbonarra as a separate dish. but everyone gets to enjoy pasta in both the red and white sauce. white sauce is a nice break from the usual red spaghetti. it has less meat, less ingredients and much simpler to cook. aside from spaghetti and carbonarra, my favorites include spaghetti arabica, baked macaroni and lasagna. yum yum!!!

hmmm... just the way you say it makes me kinda hunger for those kinda foods :), red sauce will always be the favorite of those really child at heart, but later on they will learn how to appreciate what the child at heart likes too :). Thanks mylesnarvaez!

I'm going to have to go with red. Tastier, so much more you can do with a tomato sauce.

You know, anything is poosible! I would entertain a white sauce if it was done properly, homemade. I do not like the in the jar white sauces that I have tasted. Cheers!

Great Idea, its just the right timing and if you can taste the great white, then for sure you'll be looking for more :).

Is there by any chance I can convince you to switch side or at the very least try sometimes the white sauce for a change?

I don't think I could eat pasta afredo with red sauce, some pastas are meant to be with white sauce, not like mexican menudo over here they ask you do you want it red or white?

I agree, some are better off with red while others with white, but I haven't heard of a pasta that's either good for red or white. Thanks man for the info :).

I love pasta too but tend to stay away from white sauce because it is usually too high in calories and fat. I stick with red sauces but my favorite way to eat it is with a little olive oil on it and some crushed red pepper.

I agree, eating white is heavier than red, but just cant resist the white's creaminess :).

I mostly like the red sauce because it is more tastier, and it is perfect in any dish or rice alone.

White can also be perfect with the right mix and it can be served as a full meal too :).

Well I am not sure about the white sauce and really love the color of the red one as it looks more good. But now that you have mentioned I would try the white as well. Could younplease eplain what is the taste of the white sauce, is it like the red one or different. I want me pasta to be hot, spicy and too tasty to be eaten. Do yu like the spicy one as well. There is one in a hotel where I go foten with my colleagues and they serve u pasta with beef and its really good and the dish is so full that two people can eat at one time.

White sauce tasted like cream, it is totally different from red, its not hot or spicy but heavy when eaten. It can be eaten as full meal :).

I mostly like white sauces, cheese, or just butter. I am not a big fan of tomato sauces because I prefer fresh tomatoes than most types of cooked tomatoes.

Hi, etongong! I like either one. For my spaghetti, I like red paste. And for the pasta that has Alfredo, sauce, I would like to have white sauce. It is very creamy and yummy! The fettucino pasta works great with white sauce too.

I really like it with cream, but overdoing with cream will not be good to me. If you add a little extra virgin olive oil would surely bring the house down for me :D.

Have you ever tried the white sauce? Why not try just for curiosity sake :). Maybe you can break the trend with your families favorite :).

I like white sauce on carbonara. I also like mixing white sauce and tomato sauce 'coz it's creamier that way. I don't have anything against red sauce 'coz I love spaghetti. But I don't like the Italian style red sauce which is kinda sour. I prefer the sweet and spicy type. In addition, I also love pesto sauce 'coz it's not only delicious, it's also healthy.

I do agree with you, I have tried them all, just don't overdo the pesto or you might like to vomit if its done too much with it :).
