DAE cook pasta this way? my papa taught me that you can just use a saucepan and it’s so much easier than a pot (this is cacio e pepe) https://i.imgur.com/JYR8kwt.jpg

10/10 recommend. Although I still strain and reserve the rest of the starch for the sauce. The reason for that is that I always run pasta for 5 seconds under cold water to make it glossy. It seals it or something (same with gnocchi or pierogi)

🙈 oh no please don’t put pasta under cold water. Pasta should not be glossy nor cold. Rough pasta is better because it better retains the sauce. If you put pasta under cold water in Italy, they will seize your passport 🤣

Maybe, but then last time I was in Italy I had terrible food (overpriced tourist crap-except one place in Cinque Terre) I really don’t like the sort of gloopy feeling of pasta when it has not been shocked, probably just what I’m used to. Also I never found that the sauce doesn’t stick?

Unfortunately Italy is full of dishonest restaurant that behaves badly with tourists. Stay away from them. Tuscany is top for food.

Will need to go sometime! maybe not in the middle of July; last time I went I got a heat stroke. I think Italy would be so nice in the fall
