Why you shouldn't throw away the water after cooking pasta: this liquid can improve the taste of the side dish
After the pasta is finished cooking, there will be a cloudy liquid left in the pan.
Most cooks simply pour out this water, considering it waste. And in vain.
Few people know that such liquid can be useful.
The thing is, pasta water contains salt and starch, which means it can make a side dish more flavorful and nutritious.
How a cook should act
After you finish cooking the pasta, do not rush to throw the pasta into a colander located over the sink.
Place the device over some container so that the water flows into it.
A little of the remaining liquid should be added to the sauce, which is planned to be used as an ingredient for a side dish.
It can be tomato, cheese or any other liquid seasoning. Pasta water will help thicken it and make it more delicious.
In addition, the starchy liquid will be an excellent substitute for cream, which is often used as an ingredient in sauces.
If you plan to put the cooked pasta in a frying pan with other ingredients (for example, to make carbonara pasta), you can pour some pasta water directly there and mix the resulting mass well. The result will be an incredibly appetizing dish.
