Pro tip: stop rinsing your pasta in cold water, I ruined 2 years of spaghetti before my aunt caught me
My aunt from Naples watched me dump my cooked spaghetti into a colander and run it under cold tap and she literally grabbed my wrist. She said the starch on the outside is what makes the sauce stick and I was washing off the only thing holding the whole dish together. I had been doing this since I moved into my first apartment in 2022 because I thought it stopped the noodles from getting gummy. Now I just pull it 60 seconds early and finish it in the pan with a splash of the boiling water, and the difference is not small. Anyone else grow up being taught to rinse, or was that just my family?

Same thing with not touching your hair after washing it.
