(American) Italian cooking advice sucks - Lemmy

You should not cook pasta in water as salty as the ocean, and there is such a thing as too much garlic.

Al dente noodles are also unpleasant. Just cook them a minute or two longer.

Yeah? I always take the suggested time on the box for when to start checking if done. Only if I can bite through half a noodle and not see any white uncooked core is it actually done. Do you go past that…?

My technique isn’t as refined as yours, I just add on a minimum of 2 minutes and hope for the best

For full disclosure, I don’t usually chew noodles, and that may be a big part of my preference here. Also my most common noodles are fettuccine and macaroni, but I do the same with spaghetti.
