Pasta cooked to aldente is meant to be finished intnhe sauce. People have misuderstood this italian cooking instruction for generations.
You undercooked the pasta so that it can finish cooking in its own heat after you drain the water...You aren't meant to eat undercooked pasta, OP. >

I like what people call "overcooked" >

This is one of the few truly unpopular opinions I have read in this sub, congrats!! >

Cause he's misguided. He only cooked half the recipe. >

Al dente is great because the next day, it's still structurally ok to eat and not paste. >

softs are even better the next day >

“Softs” 😅 >

Ferrari be putting on the wrong softs after this >

It depends on what you're making.  (Nuance?!)
Are you making an Eastern European dish?  Kugel?  Stroganoff?  Yeah, make that pasta a bit softer.  Are you making a pasta bake?  Lasagna?  Baked Ziti?  Yeah, the standard is softer because al dente is nearly impossible.
But if you're just doing aglio e olio, and you cremate that pasta, you're fucking dead to me. >

I can see your hands talking on the last sentence. >

overcooked pasta is terrible. >
