Me too. Now I want to hear the Nekromantix. I don't think that will go over well in the shop. Less than 2 hours to go.

Kitchen floor all washed. We'll see how the ants like that.

Stop adding oil to the pasta water.

WHO is adding oil to the pasta water?? What a waste of good evoo.

Salt, people. Use salt!

You need to add a little bit of oil so that the spaghetti doesn't stick.
I think Giada mentioned this in one of her videos. Let me try to find it.

My sister. We've had this discussion before, so now I'm just assuming she's doing it to get my goat. A large pot with boiling, salted water. So simple.

Don't listen to Giada. She's wrong.

 

[Aglaopheme]

I always add a little so the water doesn't boil over.

This is true. The oil works well (says my wife). It works really well for homemade pasta, as it is naturally a bit sticky when it boils.

The salt helps it cook at a higher temperature and also gives it a little flavour.

 

[lovetoread]

If I am making the pasta I do put a little evo in.

 

[Lord Pmann]

Don't listen to Giada. She's wrong.

But her breasts are so beautiful... How could I not listen?

 

[MonaLittle]

Srsly? I've never heard of using it for that reason. I just know the old wives tale that's been going around for years and years about oil preventing your pasta from sticking. That's totally false and a waste of money - and a rumor that was probably started and promoted by food network and olive oil companies alike.

Me, too. Maybe a pat of butter.

I could never ignore her big, toothy smile. I tried! I swear.

I'm all about Ina Garten. She has the BEST recipes.
