Let it boil 30 sec

Then stir for a few seconds

Thats all you need

What's the point of having oil on top of the water?

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

No clue, but oiling the pasta after it comes out

  1. Makes sauce adherence worse, so don't do it
  2. Makes them able to lie around longer without clumping together

So instead, just plate and coat with sauce immediately instead of waiting.

You can just take the clumpy pasta and add a bit of olive oil afterwards, works too

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

No, you'll fuck up how the sauce adheres to the pasta.

I was making the joke, but if you want to be picky — fight this guy, not me

[-] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 7 points 23 hours ago

I don't have to fight him. Most of the people in the comments are already doing it.

I guess to clarify, if you want your pasta not to stick, coating it in oil will stop it from sticking, covering it in telfon would do the same thing. The problem is what are you doing with the pasta after you cook it. You might get away with olive oil if you're combining it with pesto, but you do that to a red sauce or an alfredo and you'll end up with a bowl of sauce and oily noodles that did not combine well.

Maybe you just put too much oil on, I make 6 lbs of pasta at a time once or twice a week at work and I've never had an issue with sauce not adhering. And I cook in a senior living center, if there's an issue with the food, we hear about it. You just need enough oil to coat them, they shouldn't be swimming in it.

[-] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 20 hours ago

It depends. If you're putting the sauce on immediately then you don't need the oil, but if you're gonna wait and do it at serving time then I find a light coat of oil is worth it to keep from sticking.

Granted, I tend not to do red sauces. Pesto and cream-based sauces tend to do fine though.

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah, when doing non-oily sauces, just add the sauce immediately instead of ever adding oil.
