overcooked pasta is terrible.
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" >

The reAl Dente 🤓 >

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.
