Adding Oil to Pasta Water
Remember how we said rinsing your pasta after cooking it makes it sticky? Well, some people have noticed the issue, so they try to combat the post-rinse stickiness by added oil to the pasta water.
Unfortunately, oil isn’t a good solution. While oil will help your pasta not to stick together, it will also keep the sauce from sticking to your noodles. Instead of adding oil, stir the pasta as you cook it to keep the noodles from sticking together. Also, take the past out of the water when it’s al dente and toss it with the sauce before it cools. The warm noodles will break apart as soon as they have something new to stick to.
