Most people tend to pour pasta water down the drain after their meal is done, but this is actually a huge waste. Pasta water is liquid gold that can be used in many different ways that never crossed your mind, and here are some of the best methods to put it to some good use.
Tasty Soups
Pasta water can help you take your soups to a whole new level. You can dissolve a stock cube in your leftover water a day before and the flavor of your stock will be significantly better.
Pasta Sauces
Cooking pasta isn’t the only thing you can do with your water. Leftover water shouldn’t be thrown away because you can use it to loosen thick sauces, thus making your pasta 100% tastier.
Preparing Rice
You can also take your rice to a whole new level if you decide to save some of your pasta water. Replace it with the regular tap water that you usually use to cook your rice, and your dish will taste better than ever.
Unique Dough
Pasta water can also be used in baking and it will give your dough a special taste. It’s especially great for bread and pizza because the water will retain some of the flavors and starch from the pasta.
