Italian pasta rules

  • The sauce must be ready before the noodles are cooked
  • Salt the pasta water well when it’s cooking (e.g. 1 tbsp coarse salt)
  • You shall not put oil in the water or on the pasta! Otherwise it cannot absorb the sauce!
  • The water must be cooking before you insert the pasta
  • The water must be bubbling all the time as the pasta wants to dance in it
  • Therefore the pot must be big enough. No one wants to dance in an overfilled disco.
  • Cook the pasta al dente (like described on the package)
  • Get a cup of pasta water before you drain the pasta
  • The pasta must be mixed with the sauce immediately!
  • Depending on the sauce thickness pour some pasta water into the pasta / sauce mix to help it combine
