      You can use less salt if you use less water. I only add enough salt so that the water tastes as salty as broth.

      Also pasta cooks just fine in a shallow pan of boiling water, you only need enough water to cover the top of the amount of pasta your cooking. Remember to stir it a few times though, or it clumps up.

      (This is the best way to cook pasta if you are poor and live in a damp/poorly ventelated building. Boiling litres of water per serving is inefficient and expensive, and it makes your kitchen mouldy.)

      Yup. I grab my salt can and do about two sprinkle passes and it seems to turn out pretty good. It’s probably around a teaspoon (maybe more) per bag of pasta.

      Oh, and use a bit of that pasta water in the sauce, that helps.
