Tips on How to boil pasta like a pro?
Always add pasta to boiling water.No excuse to that.

Never add oil to Pasta while it is boiling,the Italians never do,it is not real pasta if you do they say.
Reason is once you add oil the sauce does not stick to the pasta.Total disaster.
All the sauce remains in the plate as the oil makes it slippery for the sauce to hold on to it now you do not want that right?

And Never Ever run Pasta in running water after boiling,that is the worst you can do to any pasta dish.
You need the starch.Again the Italians never ever rinse their pasta.
Lets do what they do and be safe.

Make sure you Pasta in a big pot with lots of water so the pasta swims in.They need lots of room.
Try it just with salt and water and see the difference yourself.
