There are little bowls you can put small amounts of pasta on to serve them up as a flight.

You can put the bowls on the plank, if you so desire.

Yes, it's more dishes to clean, but it's also, you know. Way less annoying.

that pasta is gonna taste like a cutting board, istg

Pfft. I'm not convinced that plank has been finished.

... That seems like a terrible and messy idea.

How to end up with pasta all over the table.

this works for me because i love making huge messes for other people to clean up
