Is it true that you need to salt the water to be salty like the ocean so that the pasta would turn out right? 🌊

Kay

The pasta turns out right if it's cooked right, regardless of the salt. But if you're going to salt the water, then it should be ocean-like.

Amy

no, the water does not need to be salty like the ocean. you could probably do you find with just a teaspoon maybe two of salt in 6qt of water. I rarely add salt to my water. and my pasta is fine

you should absolutely salt your pasta water when you're making pasta. salty like the ocean is recommended.
