Trypophobia central, holy shit. There’s even a top down view

So you rimmed it with paprika and garnished with green onion. I dunno…
The sauce looks like a cheese base for Mac and cheese and looks creamy enough but this isn’t a gratin. It’s not macaroni. I make gratin once a week and I really feel the palate is going to be overrun by paprika and bare pasta because there isn’t enough cheese.

This looks unappetizing. From a purely artisitc stance, it’s quite interesting, but my lips involuntarily curl at the thought of the mouth feel from that dry, crusty, pasta on my tongue. This is a no.

This looks like a human vessel. Not good on the eye, OP.

I like this idea in theory, but it’s lacking in delivery. The garnish feels like an oversight, it doesn’t look like it belongs on this plate and it makes the dish look messy overall. It’s desperately needing more sauce, and the pasta itself looks too dry and even a bit burnt.
I could see this going better if you were to fill the pasta itself with the sauce or perhaps with another soft cheese, and if you choose a more tasteful & compact garnish that adds height to the dish and brings everything together.

I’m certainly intrigued by this idea. A good, thick cheese sauce will hold its shape, so maybe this could be done with a ring mold or similar to keep it together and give it a little height?

Interesting Chef, I wonder if it would eat better with a shorter tube like a mezze maniche rigate for those who are new to this type of pasta presentation? I do like the crunchy chewy pasta. Nicer to be able to scoop the perfect spoon full without having to possibly cut down the pasta in a smaller piece

Is that some kind of clear liquid around the edge?

i think this is hilarious and all the self important tweezer clutching hipsters haranging you for it makes it so much funnier

Looks like something from /r/Trypophobia

It doesn’t look pleasant to eat. Poking through the top of the ziti and scraping through a clumped sauce sounds unappetizing, and I couldn’t imagine the texture would be much better. It’s very aortical
