    Europe as a continent is divided from asia by the Urals then the caspian sea and from there I’m not sure if black sea or mediterranean(I think I’m making it larger than it actually is). The difference you are talking about with transcontinental countries tho is not religious but cultural and is mostly about if a country feels part of “the west” or not. Most europeans now would consider europe politically by the russia+ belarus border, with georgia, armenia, turkey and cyprus being included or not based on who you ask.








  • Italian here Don’t necessarily agree with the large pot, but it definitely doesn’t hurt, so do it until you have enough experience. The rest is good advice except the cold water one, that depends a lot on your pipes. Extra advice: you salt the water, not directly the pasta, so for consistent taste use the same amount of salt for the same amount of water independently from the amount of pasta. To finely adjust how much salt, taste the pasta in the middle of the cooking time, while it’s still hard(ish) and add more salt if needed, don’t do it too late tho because as said before you salt the water and therefore the pasta needs time to absorb it. Ps.Don’t break the pasta intentionally or I will hit you with a wooden spoon
