Relatable.
Lazy straining can make your pasta taste way better, it just takes a little extra time.
First; undercook your pasta, you’ll want it barely soft on the outside and still kinda crunchy otherwise it will overcook into mush. Second; drain your pasta but leave about 2/3 cup of water in the bottom of the pot. Third; add a generous amount of butter to the water and pasta and place back in the stove at medium-high heat. Also a good time to add salt/pepper/seasoning. Fourth; stir until water boils off completely. This is going to create a butter sauce as the starch in the pasta water combines with the melted butter. It will stick much better to the pasta and doesn’t leave your pot all greasy from the butter.
It makes the best goddamn buttered noodles but also works well for any jarred/pre-prepped sauce, just add it in the mix towards the end so you still only have one pot to clean.
This, or use Italian technique. Make your pan sauce while the pasta is boiling. Transfer the pasta to the sauce with tongs when it’s al dente. Finish the pasta with the sauce and some pasta water
Did not expect to find a cooking hot tip via a meme, thank you, going to give this a try!
Loose thine noodles 'pon thine sink!
This skill will be needed one day to save the world. Get your practice in.
There are two wolves inside of me

You can’t just go around filming in my apartment without telling me and then Photoshop some kid with mushroom cloud hair in my place.
Yes I can
That’s why I just boil mine in the strainer
I tried that but couldn’t get the water to stay in…
…made a bit of a mess tbh…
Yea, takes some practice. Helps if you preheat the strainer.
Use the lid
Or use the strainer like a normal person.
One more thing to clean 😔
Unless you used it during cooking, then that counts as another dish to clean
In my experience, just rinse the lid off right as you’re done and set it on the drying rack
Better than the fork, but not without risk. Gotta crack it just right so the water drains but you don’t lose any pasta, while applying pressure to keep the lid on. One slip and you’ve got a sink full of noodles.
You can get lids with holes in.
Loose noodles are better, otherwise they stick together
Never let anyone doubt you, not even yourself
I just drink my noodles with all the soup. Why would I pour the soup away?
Finish cooking the noodles. Put flavoring in a bowl. Use chopsticks (or a fork I guess, good luck) to move the noodles from the pot to the bowl. Pour enough water from the pot into the bowl to cover the noodles.
No extra dishes, no risk of noodle loss, just the right amount of liquid.
