Stop straining pasta after cooking, one trick makes it much tastier

TL;DR

  • Avoid draining pasta in a colander; remove it directly into the sauce.
  • Preserve the starchy cooking water, which acts as a natural thickener for the sauce.
  • Finishing pasta in the sauce creates a silkier, more flavorful dish that adheres better.
  • Rinsing pasta removes essential starch, preventing the sauce from clinging properly.
