The neverending discussion about pasta, olive oil and just putting enough water... 10g salt, 100g pasta, at least 1L water e basta così ! No oil or you ruin the pasta/sauce synergy. 😃 (lemmings.world)

I thought it was a texture thing. Otherwise, you could just add some salt to your sauce.

It's not the same effect. Then the sauce will be salted, and the pasta will maybe absorb some of that salt.

But, in my opinion, that's an inelegant solution.

I personally do not want any more salt in the pasta sauce than what's already in there. I do, however, want my pasta to take in a little salt from the water.

For those reasons, I add a little salt to my water as it's boiling

It changes the way the pasta itself tastes, and is very different from adding it it the sauce.
