Chefs Agree: Don't Rinse Your Pasta After Cooking
Original: I Asked 3 Chefs if You Should Rinse Pasta After Cooking It—and They All Said the Same Thing
Simply Recipes asked three professional chefs whether cooked pasta should be rinsed, and all three gave the same answer: no. Rinsing washes away the starch that helps sauce cling to noodles, so the advice is to drain and sauce the pasta straight away. The item has struck a chord with home cooks who debate kitchen habits.
Why now: Rinsing pasta is a common habit, so a unanimous verdict from chefs prompts home cooks to rethink their technique.
