Dad likes to leave Pasta in the water after cooking… 😮💨
i appreciate the meal, but its so unfortunate that the pasta is extremely overcooked. Every Noodle is just full of water and extremely mushy. I tried to tell him but he won't change it, says its a family recipe.. 😮💨
Leaving the pasta in the water with the heat off while finishing the sauce is fine (preferable to draining it and leaving it to coagulate in fact), so maybe he just needs to learn the apropriate timings.
EG [this lovely recipe from Gennaro Cantaldo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwDJi_PB-wY) where the pasta is added direct from its pot to the sauce. ‘Now we add the pasta, which is ready.’

Why doesn’t he just throw flour into the pot of water?

Yak! We share a trauma as my mother does this. It’s like eating a soggy lukewarm eel.

My mum is banned from cooking pasta because she boils it to mush

I’m more worried about that pan. Looks like the nonstick is cooked.

I share your pain, fellow one. My parents do this too. Is your dad, by any change latino?
it is not so bad. You can always have a new one…….a new dad.

The only reason he does that is probably cause his mom did that. And so he just assumes it’s normal. Why he says family recipe. Have you taken him out to eat pasta in a restaurant?

Does he lack teeth or is he somewhat slow?

I’m not saying patricide is ever the right answer… but there’s times when it sure seems less wrong.

My wife doesn’t wait for the water to boil before putting in pasta. She fills the pot, puts it on the stove, and puts in the pasta. Then she just tests it until it’s cooked. She doesn’t do much cooking anyway, but she’s not allowed anywhere near my fresh pasta under threat of divorce.
That breeze you feel is all the dead Italian nonnas spinning in their graves.

My husband does this and doesnt salt the water enough so his pasta is always overcooked and bland.
I save the poor innocent noodles when I can. They’ve dont nothing wrong to suffer this maltreatment.

Sit him outside until he agrees to no longer commit this sin within the home.

Yikes. Family recipe 😅
Grew up with a mom who boiled yep, BOILED vegetables. No wonder I grew up hating vegetables. Learned to cook for myself later after moving out and absolutely love vegetables now. I look forward for you to be able to make your own pasta. You know, the correct way lol

It’s weird but it’s how he likes it.
Pull some out for yourself and set it aside.
This is your sign to move out.

I feel compelled to down vote this atrocity.
