Maling-mali na nilalagyan ng oil ang tubig kapag nagpapakulo ng pasta.
Nakasanayan ito ng marami para raw hindi magdikit-dikit ang pasta noodles.
Pero bukod sa “big mistake” raw ito, sinabi ng isang Italian celebrity chef na “stupidest thing ever” ito.
Kung ganoon, ano ang dapat gawin para maiwasang magdikit-dikit ang cooked pasta?
Tinalakay ang “biggest mistake people make when cooking pasta,” sa isang YouTube video ng Business Insider noong 2017.
Wala raw itong katotohanan, sabi ni Fabian Viviani, isang Italian celebrity chef, hospitality developer, restaurateur, cookbook author, at TV host.
Nakilala rin si Fabian nang sumali sa American reality cooking competition na Top Chef Seasons 5 at 8.
“I think the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard about making pasta is people who waste olive oil in the water so the pasta doesn’t stick,” sabi ni Fabian.
Paliwanag niya, magdidikit-dikit daw ang pasta kapag hinayaan lamang itong maluto at hindi hinalo.
Diin pa niya: “Now, if you throw a pound of pasta in the water, and then you go play soccer or take a shower, the pasta might stick to the bottom. That’s natural."
Simple lamang daw ang gagawin para matiyak na hindi magdikit-dikit ang cooked pasta.
"Don’t waste good olive oil for the pasta not to stick. Just stir your pasta, you lazy people out there."
Wala raw ibang trick kaya kung may mag-claim na kaparehong hack, aniya: “That’s a lie, it’s wasteful, and you should be ashamed of yourself because you should be there stirring your pasta, which doesn’t make it stick anyway, if you stir it.”

PUTTING SALT IN THE WATER IS FINE
Hindi naman niya kinontra ang paglalagay ng asin sa tubig.
“Salt’s fine. You can salt pasta. Salt pasta is good, as long as you don’t have a too spicy sauce or too salty sauce."
Basta ang ikonsidera lamang ay hindi masobrahan ang alat ng pasta dish depende sa ingredients na ilalagay.
“For example, if you have a four-cheese sauce, naturally, there’s a lot of salt in it. So, you don’t wanna over-salt your pasta.”
here's ANOTHER REASON NOT TO USE OIL
Samantala, gumawa rin ng short TikTok video si Nicole Mclaughlin tungkol sa paglalagay ng oil sa pasta water.
Si Nicole ay producer ng education and entertainment food series na, You Can Cook That sa AllRecipes.com, isang tanyag na food site.
Sa video na in-upload noong February 2024, may overlay text ito na ganito: “You’re ruining your pasta by giving in to this myth.”
Iginiit din ni Nicole na mali ang paglalagay ng oil sa pasta water.
Payo pa niya, “If you don’t want your noodles to stick, just stir as soon as you put them in the water.”
“But the main reason you don’t want to put oil in your pasta water because it keeps the sauce from sticking [to the pasta].”
Nagpakita ng dalawang bowl of pasta si Nicole.
Sa pasta na hindi nilagyan ng oil, madikit ang sauce sa noodles.
Dumudulas naman ang sauce sa pasta na niluto na ginamitan ng oil.
