I use butter.  It has all the salts and oils necessary.

I used to use olive oil, but solid foods require solid fats.

put the oil or butter on the pasta after it's done cooking...putting oil or butter in the water with the pasta is bad...bad, bad, bad....it may completely disrupt the temporal flow of this timeline...as a chef, I'm with Chef on this one...

Chef, don't you think threads about the finer points of pasta cooking are a little, well, metrosexual, for your big, bad palangi self?

If you put oil in your pasta water you are just wasting oil.

(OMG, don't tell Dick Cheney. He'll get Bush to invade your kitchen!)

I concur. Any kind of fat in pasta water is utterly useless. You have to put it on the pasta after filtering the water out, when pasta is cooked.

Acceptable forms of fat to put on pasta:
- spagghetti sauce
- carbonara sauce (+ raw egg as an option)
- napoletana sauce
- coconut milk with curry and fried onion rings and raisins
- tomato sauce with either garlic or basilic

you forgot bolognese, puttanesca, and the Turd's own sun-dried tomato/walnut/spinach lemon cream sauce...

[agent compassion]

I think it's tasty, so there.

[Bella]

I normally do my best to avoid cooking.
But if I have to cook pasta, all I use is a little salt and then I add a bit of olive oil after the water has been drained off the noodles or whatever.

We might as well say Chef is gay today for he has started a thread.
