Do you like pasta? LOL, just kidding. Of course you do! You’re a human being aren’t you? If not then you’re either a Russian bot or a cat who’s learned to use the internet. In which case, welcome!
If you like pasta as much as normal people like pasta, you’ve probably cooked it once or twice. It’s easy, it’s quick, and if you’re a vegetarian it’s probably the only thing you’re no longer sick of. As easy as cooking pasta is though, there are always ways to improve. Salting your water makes the pasta taste better, making your own sauce is always better than store-bought, etc etc.
Oh and also? It turns out everything you know about straining pasta is a complete lie.
Good morning to everyone. Just saw this on Facebook and spazzed. pic.twitter.com/YB8qJ2a1g5

Yeah. The pasta stays in the pot, the water doesn’t splash all over your strainer and give you third degree knuckle burns, and your whole life improves by a factor of several thousands. The game changing strain technique quickly spread across the internet like a velvety vodka sauce and people were freaking the f*** out.

Naturally, there were some detractors to this revelation, noting that you’d have to find a strainer that’s the exact size of your pot for this to work, and also that the official instructions for cooking pasta involve pouring the water into a strainer.
But hey, this is the internet. If we can’t flip out way too much about a simple, most likely flawed revelation about common objects than who are we really?
