Something I never knew, pasta.

I was taught to cook pasta by my Mom and she always put salt into the water. Told it helps keep the spaghetti from sticking to the pan.
Well reading an AOL article a few days back, well the salt is to flavor the pasta too. I tried putting some pepper in too just before it was done, amamzing.
Gonna have to experiment with other spices.

I drop a couple of bay leaves in the water.

I've read the salt also helps keep pastas from turning to mush too quickly as they cook, too.
