Salt: The Most Important Ingredient

Read

Kosher vs table vs sea vs finishing salt. Salt at every stage not just the end. Pasta water should taste like the sea.

Dad's Note

If it doesn't taste right it probably needs salt. But add it in layers, not all at once.

Practice Task

Cook pasta three ways — no salt, light salt, properly salted water. Taste each plain. The difference will be dramatic.
