Use of the word 'naturally'
Dear fellow overflowers,
I was wondering I could use the word naturally in the sense of 'it goes without saying' or 'as would have been expected'.
An example sentence would be:
"The pasta I made today was so good, naturally."
Solution 1:
Yes, this is an accepted use of naturally.
naturally adverb
2 : according to the usual course of things : as might be expected

Solution 2:
Goes without saying means that something is obvious, logical. Naturally stands for “as expected” (not unexpected). If we don’t already know that you are a good cook, naturally is not the best word in my opinion.
