The Olive Garden doesn’t salt their pasta water. This is to reduce corrosion of the cheap pots. But salt is important. It obviously makes the pasta taste salty, but also it keeps starches from dissolving into the water so quickly. Without it, your pasta will be mushy and not al dente.

Thats complete bullshit.
I never put salt in my pasta, and all my pasta comes out al dente. It has to do with the boil time more than it has with the salt contents.
Look at this fucking idiot. They think their raw pasta is al dente.
Enjoy your mush soup.
