  You have at most 15 seconds to thoroughly mix your pasta with the sauce.

  Nobody in their right mind would ever let pasta sit without sauce.

  Once I had to watch while some people strained the pasta, let it there and then started chatting about something else. They were wondering about why I was going crazy and then they complained the pasta stuck together…

  Please, don’t let your pasta sit unattended. Also, Barilla is not a particularly good brand of pasta.

    I’m not a master chef, so the sauce or whatever it’s going in isn’t always ready at the same time. I also don’t really mind when pasta sticks. It is definitely something that happens, but it’s just a silly meme and it’s (usually) just dry pasta.

      Just prepare the sauce before you cook the pasta, that way you’re sure.

      It’s better to cook the pasta together with the sauce for a minute or two.

  Don’t leave your pasta hanging.

    It’s in a pot. I have to wonder if this is a fresh vs dry thing

      I mean, the fresh stuff is certainly better. Also, Barilla isn’t that awesome. I don’t know what you have available, but I live in Italy and I never buy Barilla. (Although I’d like to thank them for being a large contributor to my adopted city’s finances.)

      But yeah, time things so that the sauce is ready when the pasta becomes ready. The sauce won’t suffer for sitting for a few minutes.
