Tired of clumpy, sticky pasta straight from the pot? It's frustrating and ruins the meal.
There's a reliable kitchen hack used by home cooks everywhere: add a splash of white vinegar to the boiling water. Your pasta will stay separate and perfect every time.
- White vinegar
1. Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.
2. Add a dash of white vinegar to the water.
3. Stir in the pasta once the water is simmering.
4. Cook for the time recommended on the package.
There you have it! With white vinegar, your pasta comes out perfectly separated—no sticking. :-)
Quick, simple, and foolproof. It works for all shapes: spaghetti, tagliatelle, macaroni, and more—fresh or dried.
Pasta releases starch as it cooks, causing it to clump together.
White vinegar neutralizes the starch's stickiness, keeping strands separate.
Always use plenty of water—one liter per 100g of pasta reduces sticking and improves flavor.
