Can I cook Pasta if I don't have any salt to add to the water? I just moved so I don't have any salt. I went to the grocery store and bought some pasta and sauce, but I forgot to buy salt. I'm too lazy to drive back.

add the jar of sauce to the water, the sodium in the sauce will help cook the pasta when you boil it

Just use a Knorr stock cube. It'll flavor the pasta and water better than salt. People always ask me: Marco, why do you season your water with Knorr stock cubes? And the answer is simple: it tastes better. You should try it.
Nevermind I Guess I Should just try instead of getting trolled on 4chan.
It's a meme, the salt does nothing.

Ok, I made pasta without salt. There is no difference.
Confirmed: The salt is a meme.

I've never made mine with salt, so thanks for the knowledge. Phew.

This thread is fucking funny. I love /ck/.
1 tsp salt = 2 tbsp pepper
Next time use this ratio if you're out of salt.
The hotter the pepper is, the quicker it will boil water.
Ghost Peppers boil water in like 7 seconds flat.

This was foolish. Your pasta is spoiled, even if you don't realise it.
If you're in this situation in the future, remember that both sweat and urine contain salt.
The other thing I learned is: My new apartment has a glass top stove and it fucking takes forever to boil water on this.

Piss in the pasta water. The heat boils out the ammonia and it makes the water just salty enough to work. Also gives it that extra zing
I like cooking pasta with salt because it raises the boiling temperature of the water and cooks my pasta faster.
That being said I don't think the salt is necessary.

it's better than a standard electric stove

>Americans don't have kettles
I can't make pasta without salt. It just tastes like nothing without it.
What the fuck are you planning on making if you don't have any salt
>>7197909
Pasta with sauce.

Literally no American is going to be offended, in any possible way, by your judgement.
I own a $200 rice cooker because it's convenient to be able to have perfect rice at the push of a button.
I wouldn't throw away $20 on a device that makes boiled water... Guess what? Boiled water is exactly the same no matter how you make it.
>oi mate, it's tea o'clock and a watched pot never boils
>>7197763
Americans don't have 220V so an electric kettle doesn't make sense.
>>7197464
I can't understand this line of reasoning
If you can't tell there's a difference you either didn't add enough salt or you are too dumb to tell the difference
The salt just doesn't magically cease to exist the moment the pasta touches the water. If you properly season it before adding the pasta there will be a taste difference.

The entire point of the post I quoted was that water takes ages to boil on a stove, even a gas one.
>>7197998
so use a microwave
>>7197922
The different is in the time. With electric kettle, to boil a water is literally 2 minutes or something, I don't know what superior units you use in Freedom to measure time.
>>7197347
what
>>7197464
That just means you never added enough salt when you DID have salt. The water should taste like sea water.
>>7198796
it's from a cooking video of a shill selling stock cubes

Go set a pot of water and go back to a multiplayer game or your favorite tv show bet that bitch will boil in a split second
I went to the Grocery store and I bought some salt today. How much salt do you guys use when cooking pasta? I usually fill up a 2 quart sauce pan about 80% full of water.
