She says that whether you should rinse the pasta or not depends on what you want the pasta for afterward. If you're making spaghetti and you want the sauce and noodles to bond nicely, you don't rinse the noodles, leaving them coated in their starches. If you're making macaroni salad, you do rinse them because otherwise the starch will make the noodles stick together.Marenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14137704728452001336noreply@blogger.com
