  1. Salt the pasta water - I know this one is pretty simple and most people know it but it makes such a big difference for the flavor of the pasta! You want to salt the water once it's boiling and you can really just eyeball it. I use a few tablespoons for a big pot of water
  2. Add garlic - You can add a crushed clove of garlic to your pasta water along with the pasta for extra garlicky flavor. Plus somebody gets an little treat with their noodles.
  3. Don't forget to add some of your pasta water to your sauce before you drain it. The starches help the sauce cling to the pasta better.
