Stop straining pasta after cooking, one trick makes it much tastier
Pasta can be much tastier if you avoid just one thing during preparation.
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.
