Always add salt to the pasta water; NEVER add oil!

I add garlic while boiling potatoes before mashing them.

I only trust the spaghetti research of Professor Al Dente.

I heard it wasn’t the FSM, it was a group from the Pastafarian Cult.

They need to investigate the attempt to corner the pasta market by crime boss Alfredo Fettuccine.

“Professore Boyardi is pretty sharp.”

Yeah, but he overcooks his pasta and his sauce is just awful.

Why did the spaghetti thank gluten at dinner? Because without it, it would’ve fallen apart under pressure—literally! Gluten’s the real MVP for keeping that pasta party intact in boiling water.

What did the gluten-free spaghetti say when it started crumbling in the pot? “I guess I just don’t have the ‘net’ to hold it together!” Unlike its gluten-packed cousin, it needs perfect cooking conditions to avoid a total noodle disaster.

The 11th Commandment.

If my Italian grandmother saw anyone ruin pasta water by putting oil in it she would have crippled them with her big wooden spoon!

My wife makes the best linguini in white clam sauce you ever had. It is my favorite pasta dish. She is Italian, her grandfather was off the boat. But she got the recipe from a magazine, made it once, then modified it to her taste. She is an incredible chef.

New research from Lund University reveals that gluten plays a vital role in keeping spaghetti intact while boiling

How much did American taxpayers pay to fund this useless study? Because you KNOW we did.
