Cooking Angel Hair Pasta and keeping to serve the next day, would

I don't rinse pasta after cooking

quote:

Don't rinse, but do put a little butter or olive oil onto the hot pasta and swirl it around to coat. The oil will keep it from clumping together as it chills.

This!

I've always dropped mine in a ice bath right out of the boiler for 5 seconds or so......and then just a drizzle of olive oil in a toss when I get it out of the ice bath.

Stops the cooking immediately and I don't think I lost anything by doing that....

Never had my stuff stick.

I add olive oil while boiling just don't rinse and never sticks after a day in the fridge

Either or but I wouldn't rinse. I've never done the ice bath with pasta just veggies. May have to try

By the way I alway serve room temp pasta with phuck you up hot sauces right off the fire. When they stir it up it balances. So no one suspects cold pasta.

When serving pasta I prefer to dress the noodles with whatever sauce I'm going to serve with them. A little sauce just to prevent sticking, not too much to saturate them. Fats such as butter & olive oil can create a barrier that will hinder (not prevent) the adherence & absorption of sauce by the noodle. I would guess you are referring to left over angel hair in the OP because I can't think of a situation that wouldn't allow for enough time to cook such a thin noodle.
