This is as good a place as any to ask the following naive question: what is the name for the cooking liquid of pasta? Just recently, I cooked some spaghetti in a very small pot and fished it out using a fork. I forgot the pot in the sink. After 8 hours, the liquid had formed a pancake-like mass at the bottom of the pot. Is it the same as aquafaba, just from a different plant (wheat?). Is there any use to it?

- yen223 6y agoIt's starch water, and it's great for thickening pasta sauces
- Karawebnetwork 6y agoYou know how pastas (especially spaghetti) will stick to itself when you leave it out and become a big lump? Use that water to break it up instead of oil. It'll make your pasta easy to separate and won't stop sauces from sticking to the pasta.
