StormingSage :

some shredded cheese from the store is already powdered with starch, pretty sure they starch it for a similar reason

Ammar Barakat :

back when I had a restaurant. I used to have a Cacao dispenser just like the one I used for Tiramisu, but filled with corn starch. The pasta water wasn't starchy enough so I would just tap the dispenser once or twice. Worked like a charm on the Cacio e Pepe, Anchovies spaghetti and Garlic spaghetti

Brayden Bushroe :

Corn on ja-cob :

where do you add the corn starch? Make a slurry with the pasta water?

Don Kachas del Jaral 🇲🇽 🧿 :

That’s why you use pasta water, not just water. Using starch will change the flavor.

Kristen Wickstrom :

VP of Common Sense :

dodgeball, really?

guva :

But pasta already releases starches.

Not that I personally would choose this method (there’s nothing technically wrong with it; it actually works very well — it just FEELS wrong to do), but you could also use sodium citrate.

Hey genius, the pasta water contains your secret ingredient. Don’t put too much H2O hence increase the starch concentration
