Got question. When I cook spaghetti usually i will boil them with a bit of oil and salt. When al dante i drain the water and then fill with warm or not so hot water to wash then drain again. Do you guys do this? I think i read somewhere thats why i always do this.

But what is the logic behind washing with not so hot water and drain?

Spaghetti no need rinse lah.  Just drain it in a colander and dump it into a dish and toss with olive oil so the noodles don't stick together.  You can also toss it with some minced garlic or whatever else at this stage for flavour, before putting a dollop of sauce on it.

Vey99, you are so right. My hubby always appreciates my cooking, he always has nice things to say about it and is quite grateful whenever I cook (which is only weekends). So needless to say that motivates me even more to look for new recipes I was always to scared to cook previously (afraid I'd mess it up) but now I actually look forward to cooking!!
