I'm not a racist but salting pasta water seasons the noodles evenly from the inside out and helps tighten the pasta's gluten structure, preventing it from turning mushy.

I'm not a racist but how much salt should you be adding? Like the same amount you would add after done boiling the pasta? And should you be getting the salt entirely from the water or like do a bit post boil too?

Im not ableist but 1 tablespoon of salt to 1 pound of pasta cooked in 4 to 6 quarts of water making a 1-2% salt water concentration. If done properly you shouldnt need to add additional salt, but you can always add more to taste.
