I’d say the majority. I add salt to my water but to keep it a bean I can’t really taste the difference

If you added enough, you would be able to taste the difference trust me. When you boil pasta; chefs always say the pasta water should be "as salty as the sea" 99.9% of that salt is going down the drain and not into your food. Season your pasta water, season your rice water, season the water you boil your potatoes in. Season your food please.
I am guilty of putting cheese on fish based pasta dishes like prawn linguine and fruit de la mer.
I love pineapple on pizza
I make garlic bread with lasagna and other pasta based dishes

You should always salt your pasta water but adding oil to the water is just wasting your oil. It does nothing at all to the pasta.
I had a friend who would buy expensive olive oil with the intention of using it in her pasta water. I would tell her how useless that was but she was goofy and saw some TV chef do it so she figured it had to be done.

Yea I’ve seen that add the oil afterwards if you want and toss a bit otherwise that’s just an expensive addition to your sink

SMH at Italians thinking it’s acceptable to eat Pizza with a fork?

Pizza in Italy is often eaten with a fork. It’s often shaped different and is kind of like a pie, which you’d eat with a fork.

I like the presentation value of plating plain pasta on a dish before putting sauce on top of it. In culinary school we were encouraged to make food look appetizing, not just taste good.
Premixing it just makes look like canned spaghetti.
to me this looks better

than this

the whole cappucino thing after a meal only makes sense if you're eating some kind of dessert to counter the sweetness imo.

another way of doing it wrong.

You’re suppose to cook pasta al dente and then transfer the pasta to the sauce with a little bit of the starchy pasta water so the sauce sticks to the noodles.

The hot pasta sauce will continue to “cook” the noodle so that it’s not too chewy when al dente.

Haitians too

I also used to do this. I don't anymore, now I mix it in. Now I never have left over pasta with no use for it.

I also recently started using the egg method for my carbonara, which I love but it's not great for left overs.

Ketchup on pasta is an abomination. I really dislike people who overuse condiments where they don’t belong. IMO ketchup doesn’t belong on anything but burgers and fries and certain sandwiches.

Outside of garlic bread who does any of that other shyt?
