## **Common Pasta Cooking Mistakes (and How to Fix Them!)**

### ** Not Using Enough Water**
**Mistake:** Cooking pasta in a small pot with minimal water.
**Fix:** Always use a **large pot with plenty of water**—about **4–6 quarts per pound of pasta**. More water means better cooking and prevents sticky noodles.

### ** Adding Pasta Before Water Boils**
**Mistake:** Dropping pasta into warm or simmering water.
**Fix:** Always wait for a **rolling boil** before adding pasta. This ensures even cooking and prevents sogginess.

### ** Forgetting to Salt the Water**
**Mistake:** Cooking pasta in plain water.
**Fix:** Add **at least 1–2 tablespoons of salt** to the boiling water. This **enhances flavor** since pasta absorbs the salt while cooking.

** Adding Oil to the Water**
**Mistake:** Pouring oil into the water to prevent sticking.
**Fix:** Oil makes pasta slippery, preventing sauce from sticking. Instead, **stir the pasta occasionally** to keep it from clumping.
