Reuse Pasta Water

A useful tip while preparing Pasta

reuse pasta water cooking tip helpful important

Pasta is quite a popular and loved dish across the world. It has garnered lot of love over the years in India too as it is quite a versatile dish. One can get quite creative while preparing a pasta dish trying various permutations and combinations be it with sauce base, the herbs being used for flavor, the veggies or the type of meat being used and so on. I personally feel it is a dish that can be kept as simple as possible or complex, but it would still be a star dish.


While preparing it, a general step followed is draining away the water used to boil the pasta. This is something even I was doing for quite a while.


While watching a cooking show, I saw that I was doing it all wrong. Using the pasta water in the sauce adds quite a lot. It adds a velvety consistency and shine to it. When I further read up, it is an extremely basic and critical tip that every chef stresses upon.


After knowing this step and executing it every time there is no looking back. I reserve at least 1 bowl of the pasta water to add to the sauce and get a perfect sauce every time.

Cuddly Morsel About Me

About me

Welcome to CuddlyMorsel - a nutrition and health focused platform, started by me - Ritika Wadhawan. I am a certified nutritionist and dietitian, based out of Mumbai.

As far back as I can recall, since childhood, a major chunk of my memories and stories have revolved around food. It could be sitting in the kitchen with my grandma and observing her cook or a vivid memory of a mango shake stall we visited frequently. I guess I owe it to my love for food and cooking that I was able to learn a few recipes and how to cook them at a very early age. While I was doing my graduation, post-graduation and corporate jobs, my relationship with food & cooking kept growing stronger, and I started giving my own twists to every recipe that I had ever learnt.

Realizing that food and everything related to it is what I am most passionate about, I started CuddlyMorsel. I have tried to document here my learnings, observations and findings around food by categorizing it into nutrition, healthy cooking, healthy living and some interesting food stories.

I hope you enjoy reading up and build a healthy relationship with food. Cheers!
