Have you ever argued about choosing pasta to cook for a meal? Well, you’re not alone. If your family is craving pasta but can’t decide what shape of pasta to cook, that pasta dish can be difficult to eat. But one Instagram user found a solution to this problem. US-based real estate broker Jessica Nakamura, who manages @jess.nak.realtor, shared a video on the social media platform and captioned it, “When your family can’t agree best pasta shapes to eat… You can get creative.” The post has the hashtags “mom hack” and “life hack”. The viral video shows her taking a handful of pasta in a sieve and boiling them in water. This way she will be able to cook small amounts of two different types of pasta in the same pot.

The hack went viral quickly and received over 9.7 million views and 259k likes. But, even this noodle cooking hack has its own limitations. In a later video, Jessica tried cooking mini and floured pasta in the same pot but her hack failed even though the video went viral again. The video shows long strands of pasta also getting into the sieve and mixing with other pastas. The video is titled “When your viral attack fails.” The caption read, “So last week I posted about my pasta cooking hack and it blew up. Well, I tried the optimist this week and… failed.” It has garnered more than 6.7 million views. Here is the video:
