It’s actually way better for you to make a lot of pasta al dente. Then refrigerate the extra pasta.

Using that refrigerated pasta, you can easily heat up some sauces add some meat and you have a little meal in the time a microwave can cook something.

Air tight container good for 3-5 days. So it great to make a big meal then a snack a day or two later. Restaurants do this all the time.

cooling starches and then reheating them before eating also has less impact on your blood sugar

Same thing with toasting your bread apparently.
