Some housewives rinse pasta after cooking. This is a mistake. As a result, the dish will be tasteless. If you want to prevent sticking, you can add a little vegetable oil to the water during cooking.

Pasta should be cooked over medium or low heat.

The cooking process should not take more than 7-10 minutes, but it is better to focus on the time indicated on the package. Periodically, the products should be stirred in the pan.
