And don't bother adding oil to the pasta water before you boil the pasta.
That's just bullshit that does nothing but waste oil.

Definitely add salt, though. It's the one chance you have to get some flavor actually inside the pasta itself. Don't be shy either, that shit should be ocean style.

Do you make your own alfredo sauce or do buy them from the store premade?

minced garlic in olive oil, pre-shredded parm, regular heavy cream, fresh ground black pepper, dried parsley flakes

Make it unless I'm feeling lazy.
So mostly I start off with store bought.
Like with a chicken alfredo, Dice raw chicken (maybe 2 pounds) add a splash of lemon juice, minced garlic, black ground pepper and 1/4 pound of butter, saute until no more salmonella.
Dump in a jar of store bought, pour a cup of heavy cream (or milk if I'm out) into the empty jar, put the lid back on and shake, then dump that into the pan and stir until everything mixes.
Bring back up to a simmer with the lid on, take off the lid and stir every 10 minutes for about 20 minutes to reduce (thicken).
Then turn it down to low or off depending on if I timed the pasta correctly.

What about pesto based sauces?
Click to expand...
Just boil pasta (with salt), drain it, dice a roast chicken breast, quarter 2-3 cherry tomatoes and button mushrooms, mix all that together with a large measure of pesto, put it in tupperware, put that in the fridge and you've got a dead simple and tasty lunch for work the next day.

My so is still trying to get this concept through my thick skull.
I live up to white stereotypes when it comes to spices.
