The recipe always says to reserve some pasta water. I either forget, or I just don’t bother. The one or two times I’ve needed it, I just added regular water and it was fine.

I always forget too. However it makes a huge difference if you’re making something like a pesto or lemon garlic pasta. Water just adds liquid but the starch in the pasta water adds thicc liquid
Thiquid.
I just dunk a cup into the pot while the pasta is cooking if I remember to do so. That way,I have a nice cup of pasta water to toss out because I forgot to use it in the sauce.
Ha ha yeah …. I’ll remember to use it if it’s there. For me it’s more like putting the cup out next to the pot so I don’t forget it, drain the pasta, then spot the cup I was supposed to remember to use and say “shit”
