I think it has more to do with the pasta taking in a lot of sauce, rather then it holding a lot of sauce. To make a good Italian pasta dish:
Take out the pasta a bit earlier out of the water and poor it into your sauce. The pasta will take in some sauce and get al-dente in the sauce. The pasta shouldn't bath in sauce but just be enough to give your pasta lots of flavor. Don't wash your pasta after cooking, because that will close its pores and hinder it from taking in sauce.

- ncmncm 6y agoThere are people who think it will all stick together in a solid mass, otherwise—if you leave it out to get cold. Which they do. So, they rinse it. In cold water. And leave it out. Americans, gotta appreciate not being them. Or, try not to be.
