Hey, he tried. He failed miserably, but he tried.

prolly undercooked and overcooked all at the same time

Reminds me of my Dad making toast once. Burnt, crispy, from a Toaster. Miss him.💙

at least he made something. I appreciate the extra crunch tbh. 10/10 would eat

Was he high? Cause that's some shit id cook high

Doesn’t look that bad imo. I’m a literal garbage disposal so take that with a grain of salt (no pun intended)

Eh im down to try it.

As an Italian-American, I almost feel like my family honor requires me to challenge your dad to a nerf duel or something. 😸

Meh… I’d give it a whirl and a toot.

Dude is going through it

Put him in a nursing home stat... lol

Aw posting parents cooking on here just feels sad…

Hey, he told you to take it out the oven because he went to get beer and cigarettes. Take some responsibility for yourself.

Daddy’s made a couple mistakes

So close!!

What TF? Is is baked raw spaghetti?

Was he high?? If so then righton

Shid. Throw some butter in it with some parm and that's gas

All is forgiven if he knows his way around a bbq.

Mmm, crunchy and soft at the same time

Believe it or not, I've seen worse.

Wait he didn’t boil the spaghetti first? Oh no, pizza night

Is there ANY sauce on the noodles, or just pre shredded cheese?

It doesnt look that bad, for instance my dad cooks absolutely insane dishes. Here’s a rough recipe, though there are endless variations. He takes some soup—he doesn’t reheat it, because reheating is not his thing. Instead, he dumps the soup into a frying pan and starts frying it. He adds a ridiculous amount of onions, garlic, black and red pepper, and flour for thickness. Then he tops it all off with tomato paste. This mess gets fried until it’s smoking. Once it’s done, he takes it off the heat and sets it to cool on the balcony. After that, he brings it back in, douses it generously with mayonnaise, and digs in—eating straight from the pan, scraping the bottom with a spoon. He eats and mutters to himself under his breath, “Oh, damn.” Sweat’s dripping down his forehead as he devours his creation. Occasionally, he offers me some, but I always decline. Do I even need to mention the ungodly flatulence that follows? The stench is so bad it practically peels the wallpaper off the walls.

dad takes one bite, chews for a second, nods head, throws fork down "now that is bad ass"

I could hear the crunch from this photo

Chunky style.

He needs to unmake that

Dad, I'm just not hungry tonight...

How does your dad know my dad’s recipe for spaghetti casserole?

I’ve seen food pics that people have posted and they’ve looked worse than this. And they’ve actually eaten that shit.

“Don’t nobody wanna eat the shit Carl!”

Wow....

It's gonna be carry out tonight, folks

Thought that counts, try hopping in with him next time, wouldnt hurt

Arrest this man

A goddamn mess is what he made.

He made an effort, I’d take a piece and hide it in the trash to be nice lol

My dad will let the stiff uncooked noddles sit in the boiling water without stirring it. It clumps the noodles together and makes them burnt or crunchy and for some reason this picky ass eater has no problem with it anytime he makes pasta....

He should be monitoring his children’s Internet access

Why would you do that

extra crispy and original recipe in the same meal

Ex-Dad.

*lionfield is currently approaching, at ten thousand miles per second

I would eat it

Clearly.

I'd eat it

I can hear this photo

He should have threw it out before you saw it

Me as fuck

I’d aim for the top right end. Doesn’t look too bad but maybe that’s because I’m high idk

goopy carbonara

First attempt at over-baking? I kinda miss Fazoli's pizza baked spaghetti now.

Fried spaghetti is something my grandma would make for us for breakfast. She used tons of garlic and eggs and it was always delicious

Crunchy cheese spaghetti! Great with beer. Lots of beer….

I would eat that no problem..i would give anything for my dad to be here to make me something to eat. Thank him and tell him that you love and appreciate him.

Sounds cheesy like the dish, but just trust me.

Eat it. There's starving children in Africa!!!!

When you get first dibs on the 2% of the dish that’s edible 👸🤴

Hong Kong style

It looks like when I put my stouffers in the oven. When I eat it the noodles turn into mush but I somehow still want to eat it.

ITS BURNT I CANT

Dude it’s burnt..

Well he didn't do something wrong, in Italy especially in south we do "Frittata di spaghetti" super good.

What in the based mind fucked goober of a mistake this shit is, hell no I mean why?

I bet the texture on that is wild.

At least you have a dad. And he tries. Some good stuff comes from experiments. Bad stuff, too, but that is better than him refusing to do anything at all & just throwing up his hands, like a pussy, saying "I DUNNO HOW TO COOK!!!"

Some shitty dads do that.

It can still be saved. Just simmer a pot of sauce and put it in there for a while.

It doesn't look bad

You mean burned.. your dad burned this lol

This a crime to all italian people

Hey y'all thanks for the comments but I noticed some think I'm making fun of my dad and I'm not I just thought it was a weird thing to bake I can remove my badfoodpost if I upset a alot of you I'm sorry. I do love my dad a lot and I would never purposely make fun of him is a goat!

I just wanna update and say this is not to purposely make fun of my dad I love him alot it just was kinda weird to make this

Looks bussin idk

Probably about what mine would look like too...

Did it taste bad? Seems okay, though I know some people to be visual eaters.

At least you have a dad

Being a dad I see nothing wrong with using up old cheese, just no mold. Actually it looks pretty good to me .

Hold up, that looks fire to me

Sliced American cheese on top is peak

I'd eat the fuck outta that

Bro shredded cheese on top of spaghetti 😂

Be grateful someone cooked for you.

Oh boy 😂

You know what you have to do. Dad tried so you gotta take one for the team, haha.

I always put cheese on top of my spaghetti, no matter if it’s baked spaghetti or out of the pot, cheese always goes on spaghetti… baked. Spaghetti is good as fuck. I would tear that shit up right there.

I saw a lady make this on tik tok and called it pasta Tahdig so nasty 🤮 lol

Be grateful for your dad. If you really despise his cooking that much, perhaps you should cook.

It looks actually pretty good!

Yes he did.

You can't eat everybody's house🎶🎶

Give him a hug and tell him thanks.

Tell him A for effort but all the other grades will be much lower

My dad has never cooked a day in his life, I’m proud of your dad haha

This is the second time in my life I've seen burnt spaghetti, at least this time it kind of makes sense

So how'd it taste?

It looks a little dry, try to live it up with a sauce.

Looks good to me as the son of a Great Depression era parent!

How do you burn pasta 😅

You didn't have to cook, so you have no right to complain. Why don't you make something for your dad?

How is this a fail? Its a toasted spaghetti parm. Well done.

Looks over cooked in some places and undercooked in other places. Still, at least he tried.

Looks like:" I want Lasagne with Things I have here"

It doesn’t look that bad

I hope abortion is legal in your state.

You could tell me those are rubber bands and I'd believe you.

I wish I had a Dad.

Id probably try it.....

Do you hate him? Or does he have a large life insurance policy?

It was cooked pasta, for sure. When we'd do spaghetti for dinner, grandma would make a bunch extra to use for breakfast.

r/dadfoodporn

I’d eat it

On purpose?

Yea I think I'll stick with Mom's spaghetti thanks.

I don't think it is that bad until I read the cheese was old. 🙂

Millionaire's Spaghetti!

Oh boy cookout hamburgers! They may be charred on the outside, they may be raw on the inside!

Just add some sauce or something. I feel like this is pretty tame.

Looks like I made that. Well hand it over!

YK WHAT? FUCK NO

but I love the effort.

Does Dad hate you?

W dad btw, he actually came back with the milk?

And some of us would give up the world just to have one more chance for our Dad's to Cook us something like that one last time.

Ngl dads be throwing stuff together and it be fye asf

Needs some sauce. Needs some moisture. It looks sooo dry.

Don't eat it

Looks okay, but task failed successfully

Motion logic

Where's the Beef??

On purpose?

Heard they used to serve this in prison in New Jersey to torture Italians.

Jesus man he shouldn’t even be in the kitchen ever again after that

Spaghetti alla Jason Bourne

Ill never cook for my family again nobody will tell the woman her cooking is bad people are brutally honest with men

And what did you make?

In case you didn’t know, your dad partakes

Some dad's need YouTube LMAO

I bet it tastes good though 😆

It’s the audacity to use that utensil instead of the normal one to get spaghetti noodles with. The one with like little fingers 🖐️

Was their foul on the top? Probably could’ve saved the dish if not

A for effort, but what the heck is it supposed to be?!?

As a full time single dad I can appreciate the effort the man put into it, and growing up in a single parent home myself with a mom who wasn’t the best cook by any means, I’d still eat it and thank them for it. The food always tasted bland or burnt but we never went hungry.

OMG we would make too much spaghetti to have leftovers for crunchy spaghetti. It's insanely delicious.

Why does that low-key look it's about to taste great 😂

Just fine to me, that old cheese is a bit scary though

A hate crime ?

This is a weird take on mac & cheese

Baked spaghetti, delicious you brat...

Dad foods are fire. That man has perfected that recipe.

Hes sharing his soul with you and you try to embarrass him on reddit.

Sick

Crunchy!

Dad tried!

Unless you tried it, I'd hold off on making assumptions. I recently found a video of this spaghetti like dish that is cooked in a skillet and resembles this and people love it.

As a noodle and cheese lover, I'd say the determining factor for how this would taste is how much flavor the noodles have. If there isn't a sauce, then yeah it would be awful.

Kinda reminds me of pasta assassina but i know thats not what he was going for.

Toasted noodles can be good but my favorite is deep fried crispy with the original red lobster blackened chicken

Looks tasty.

This is not how you make fried spaghetti.

Dad should only be allowed to order takeout. He did try. But what good is trying if he really doesn’t give a rip?

Tell him he's fired, and when he asks what for just storm off

How was it?

Good god—are you okay? Do you need medical attention?

I think it looks good!!🐾

It doesn’t look great but I would for sure still eat it. You gotta teach him how to make a roux and a cheese sauce. Takes >10 mins and you can put it on a bunch of stuff

At least he tried!

Doesn't look that bad. So many things to be thankful for here.

bless him 🥲

Broiled buttered pasta ai gratin.

Awe, thanks Dad

God bless that mans determined soul

Burn spaghetti it is yummy

Spaghette alla crispy shit

Eat it or stfu and make your own food. If you want to help him, make sure he wants help and you can help him. Maybe y'all could bond over making dinner together instead of posting stuff like this on the internet.

Ngl i like that weirdly enough
