Lifestyle: how to cook pasta

Yet more lifestyle self-tutoring shared by the tutor, who wondered yesterday if he was cooking pasta correctly.

When I was a kid, someone told me to add oil to the water when cooking pasta. My wife, however, says not to.

Apparently, my wife was right. (When is it else-wise?) Here are some tips I picked up, yesterday, from my research about cooking pasta:

  1. Don’t add oil to the water.
  2. Don’t put in the pasta until the water is boiling fiercely.
  3. Add salt when the water starts to boil.
  4. Cook the pasta in a big pot, with abundant water. (My wife says so as well.)
  5. Don’t rinse the pasta after it’s cooked.
