Overcooking

Make sure you undercook the pasta for just a minute so that it cooks when it is mixed with sauces completely.

Not Stirring

Keep stirring the pasta when it boils to avoid it from lumping or sticking together.

Inclusion Of Olive Oil

Do not add olive oil to your pasta water as it can make sauces slip off the pasta and make it too oily.

Not Enough Salt

Make sure you add salt in an adequate amount to your pasta as it provides flavour to the entire dish later.

Rinsing The Pasta

Do not rinse the pasta once it's boiled as the natural starches and salt will be rinsed away due to that.

Keeping Pasta In Water

Drain the pasta once it is booked and don't let it stay in water as it can get soggy quickly.

Discarding Pasta Water
