Kootch's Recipe for Spaghetti

(3)

Kootch's recipe for spaghetti is very simple: substitute Chineese bean noodles for pasta. I reveal this 'Kootch spaghetti secret' fully aware that it might upset Pastafarians. Believe me here, I have no wish to provoke a schism in the glorious religion devoted to worship of The Flying Spaghetti Monster. I simply offer up the proposition that bean noodles are healthier than pasta noodles. It is a testable hypothesis. Are the Pastafarians willing to submit a tenet of their faith to scientific judgement? The Dolly Lama has assured us that in questions of conflict between Science and Religion science always wins. Are the Pastafarians equally liberal?
