You should not cook pasta in water as salty as the ocean, and there is such a thing as too much garlic.
Edit: I liberally but not excessively use salt in pasta water and garlic in dishes which include garlic.
It’s okay to be wrong
Al dente noodles are also unpleasant. Just cook them a minute or two longer.
I agree completely so downvoted
and there is such a thing as too much garlic.
This is straight up misinformation. Even a lethal amount of garlic isn’t too much.
Why is the (American) in brackets?
The kind/s of Italian cooking here in the states differs from the kind/s done in Italy, even when the dishes exist in both places. Comes down to how Italian immigrants adapted their foodways to available ingredients and supplies.
That being obvious, why mix American and Italian cooking advice in one statement?
American-Italian being a distinct cuisine
