It's a lowest common denominator pleasure to be had. They don't use salt lmao quote:According to executives, adding salt to the boiling water could jeopardize warranties on pots. The company reportedly decided that updated sauces added enough flavor to the pasta on their own, without added salt.

salt absorbs water, water dilutes flavor. so salt increases flavor. but you dont want too much

Leon Einstein posted:Potato pasta is hardly something that could only have been invented by one specific culture. I'm intrigued by how potato based pasta could have been introduced to the Romans, I can assure you of that! Do you think they still used tomato sauce on their potato pasta?

if you want salt on your pasta then put it in the sauce lol jeez how do you not understand this. why would you dilute it in the pasta water by like 50,000X is it homeopathic seasoning?

A bunch of science based sites seem to argue that it actually does raise the boiling point although this one argues that it doesn’t add any flavor. I honestly have no clue at this point how much of a difference it makes. When I taught cooking lessons for a year an extremely good sous chef I trained under always would toss the finished noodles in olive oil which I never understood because if we made it with a sauce it couldn’t actually bind to the noodles at all so I’m starting to think no one knows how to make pasta https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/did-you-know-general-science/adding-salt-pasta-water

Dude, you want that starch! And now your pasta is luke warm.

yeah ok but do you drop the dry noodles into boiling water or do you put uncooked pasta in a pan and submerge it in water and then turn the heat on? This is one of those things where everyone thinks their way is the correct normal way

I was beyond skeptical but now I only do it that way and the pasta’s texture is superior, so ha ha ha ha ha ha to all you non-believers with a mouthful of mush!
