I was watching the Barefoot Contessa today and she recommended putting oil in the pasta water. Now I was always told not to do this as the sauce would not stick. Does anyone do this?

Hi Sillybillymom, welcome to Favorite Food Shows.  I usually just salt the water till the pasta is cooked. 

The starch from the pasta water, will thicken whatever sauce you are making.
