Time to settle this once and for all. Pasta into cold water or already boiling water?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 04:13:09 2022 No.17867906 Already boiling water unless you are an American and overcook the pasta, in that case it doesn't matter much To be more correct the water doesn't need to reach boiling temperature, pasta starts cooking @80C way than boiling temp

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 05:09:40 2022 No.17868013 >>17867908 well that settles it as far as i'm concerned. fuck the italians

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 05:15:49 2022 No.17868028 >>17868009 The heat of the pasta warms the water.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 06:36:02 2022 No.17868169 can I just throw the pasta into the Bolognese instead of boiling a second pot? I'm simmering the Bolognese to reduce water anyway so wont the pasta absorb it for me and cook at the same time?

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 08:01:51 2022 No.17868392 >>17867885 not sure where you came up with this. no one in the history of the universe starts pasta in cold water potatoes on the other hand is started in cold water if you want them to cook evenly

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 08:28:07 2022 No.17868455 >>17868169 Not if you want it al dente. And you should want it al dente.

>>	Anonymous Fri May 20 08:29:19 2022 No.17868458 >>17868455 Al dented is a huge meme and only good with certain types of pasta. Spaghetti is not one of those
