Kitchen Quick Tips - Cooking Pasta
Pasta should be cooked to al dente meaning with bite so there is a bit of resistance when bit. Unless the pasta is being used for a cold salad, do not rinse it. The residual starch helps to keep the sauce from slipping off of the pasta.
That's what I keep telling hubby. Don't rinse.
