    In my house he did the oil wrong. Strain the noodles, then less than a table spoon of oil and mix'em quick if you are not using the noodles right away. Keeps em from sticking. Do not add the oil to the water.

    isn't the oil for like…after the pasta is done and strained, you put oil on the unsauced noodles to keep them from sticking? not in the boiling water? that's what i heard at least and it works that way

    So salt actually matters I never add salt to my pasta water it seemed like a useless ingredient and I always toss the Sauce in just coat every noodle and I never add oil

    Untossed is so much better if you have people with food allergies or preference options. Growing up we had a spaghetti bar. I could choose spaghetti or fancy bowtie/penne (cuz costco sells them in paired packs), then decide how much sauce, next how many homemade meatballs, finally the parmesan avalanche. By comparison, tossed is just a communist pasta dictatorship. You want that time to assemble the plate as an individual because thats time the family is together. I personally dont see the love in pre-tossed spaghetti. Family is more important than flavor.

    How are all of you getting water in your bowl of pasta? Where'd the water come from? Didn't you drain the boiled water? WHERE'D THE WATER COME FROM?

    Dude you put in a little margarine in after you drain the water to keep it from sticking
    Also, why is there a singular noodle stuck to the cabinet door?

    I've never had a problem with not salting the water. I feel like the sauces you put on the pasta gives it that salt. I 100% agree with not salting your water like the ocean, that's how you get cardiac arrest. ALSO those kid names are lame! I'd name my kid Vegeta after The Prince of all Saiyans! lol

    Predictions. 1 boil the water, room temp won’t cook unless you’re adding heat.
    2 salted
    3 oil doesn’t help
    4 tossing is nice, but unneeded. You can stir the sauce once plated.
    Edit: Bonus myth… spaghetti will stick long before it’s done.
    Edit: 15:51 bonus myth 2 in NO universe, would Wolverine beat Magneto

    If you're putting noodles in the fridge to use the next day you absolutely want to put a little olive oil on them in a zip lock bag, mixed well. Makes a huge difference, especially if you're storing them for multiple days because you just made too many damn noodles.

    We never add salt when we make pasta. I have never used oil in my pasta water. If I do use oil, it's after the pasta has been drained then I will add grated Kraft parmesan cheese from a can.
