Under-salting your pasta water is the most common reason your pasta tastes flat, even with a great sauce. The water should taste like the sea — genuinely salty. That's the only chance the pasta itself gets seasoned, so don't skip it. #ChefBobbyCooks #PastaTips #CookingMyths #ItalianCooking #Kitche

Rinsing pasta washes away the starch that helps your sauce cling to it. The only exception is cold pasta salad, where you want it to stop cooking and not stick together. For anything hot, skip the rinse — that starchy water is doing you a favour. #ChefBobbyCooks #CookingMyths #PastaTips #KitchenScie
