You should not cook pasta in water as salty as the ocean, and there is such a thing as too much garlic.

Edit: I liberally but not excessively use salt in pasta water and garlic in dishes which include garlic.

    Yeah? I always take the suggested time on the box for when to start checking if done. Only if I can bite through half a noodle and not see any white uncooked core is it actually done. Do you go past that…?

      My technique isn’t as refined as yours, I just add on a minimum of 2 minutes and hope for the best

      For full disclosure, I don’t usually chew noodles, and that may be a big part of my preference here. Also my most common noodles are fettuccine and macaroni, but I do the same with spaghetti.
