[quote=Anonymous][quote=bakersman]I have read the article three times and I can't tell if he is saying stir the pasta while in the water, before adding it to the sauce, or he is saying add the pasta to the sauce and stir it in the sauce.

What I have always done is to use tongs to remove the pasta (which is cooked to just before al dente)  from the boiling into a pot with sauce, which adds water at the same time, and then stir the pasta in the sauce.  The pasta finished cooking in the sauce and absorbs some of the sauce.  The starchy water helps thicken the sauce.  For a nice gloss and rich flavor, add a bit of butter to the tomato sauce.  We also freeze the rinds from parmigiana/Romano cheese and then add those to our sauce.

Yes, that's what he says is the technique.   remove pasta from boiling water to a pot with the sauce (don't drain the pasta in a strainer so it still has some water on it); stir the pasta in the bowl with the sauce, and maybe add some of the pasta cooking water.[/quote]
