Pasta provides quick glucose to your brain. I crave carbs when I'm processing stuff that takes a lot of brain power. Sorta like during a painful break-up, we head for the Ben & Jerry's.

Or perhaps you just like pasta? :wink:

it could be that you have a leaky gut and gluten peptides are acting as opiodes in the brain. this is thought to be quite common in autistics

And it's really common for people to have strong cravings for foods they're allergic to or intolerant of.
Before the doctor took me off milk and other dairy when I was a pre-teen, I was drinking a gallon of milk a day. My mom would be furious and tell me I couldn't touch the milk but I couldn't help myself, I wanted it so bad.

I could easily eat maccheroni for three meals a day. Same goes for pizza. Of course I am part Italian.

In any case, don't forget the marinara sauce.

Snap.

I was addicted to milk for a while...

..and had attacks akin to mild epilepsy, and suffered vomiting all the damn time.
