you made me rethink how I cook my pasta and researched a little bit.
The effect I’m experiencing can be explained by the amount of water I use.
I always used 3 liters of water for 500g spaghetti. Recommended are 1l per 100g. Using lesser can result in greater loss of heat when putting in the pasta into the water.
Nope, add. I like my pasta al dente, btw. But if I rely on the time printed on the package they never are al dente but still kind of raw ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Are you putting the pasta in cold? If you put it in at a rolling boil it’ll be mushy at 10 minutes.

I was thinking maybe elevation was accounting for the discrepancy, but thus makes more sense! Thanks for doing the research and solving the mystery.
