Not Adding Pasta Water to Your Sauce
When you cook pasta, you often toss out all the water as you strain it. But when you’re pouring the pot of liquid down the drain, you’re actually getting rid of an essential ingredient that could make your dish that much better.
Each time you cook pasta, reserve half a cup of the pasta water and add it to your sauce. The starchy, salty water not only adds flavor to your sauce, but it can also help the sauce stick to the pasta more effectively.
