- Cream in carbonara sauce and throwing pasta against a wall were also on the list.
My mother! Italians are notoriously testy when it comes to Brits altering their classic dishes, and slathering pasta with ketchup tops the list of things not to do.
According to a survey, a whopping 78 percent of Italians rated it as the worst culinary horror, followed by pizza with pineapple (67 percent).
The survey found there was a huge divide in how each country cooks and eats pasta, pizza and other staple foods, with Italians calling our efforts an “abomination.”
Italians have named pasta with ketchup as their worst culinary horror, with 78 percent considering it their biggest mistake.
Pineapple on pizza came in second on the list, while serving the dish with garlic bread also bothered 18 percent of respondents.
Throwing pasta at a wall to see if it sticks and is cooked (53 percent) and putting cream in carbonara sauce (49 percent) also made the top ten.
Serving garlic bread with pizza was the least offensive, but it still bothered 18 percent of Italians.
The study was carried out by the Italian food company Napolina.
