Hey, bread is served with meals in most western cuisine. The American part was adding loads of salt and fat on top of those carbs!
Fair enough, though I would argue that the side/appetizer bread doesn't count because restaurants mostly serve it so the customers gorge themselves on something cheap instead of complaining about tiny main course portions.
The only time you need bread with pasta is at the end, to perform "scarpetta", cleaning the leftover sauce with the bread.
At which point the garlic kind of defeats the purpose.
After a couple of years in Tuscany I even started buying into the idea that salted bread is also a bit overkill.
I freaking hate Tuscan bread lol
I only know it for things like stews and soups, maybe some fried veggies, not for literal noodles.
