Tag: Rinsing pasta

According to the official Banza cooking tips, the company recommends rinsing their chickpea pasta after draining. This practice, which differs from traditional pasta rules, helps achieve the best texture and prevent mushiness.

A common culinary myth suggests that rinsing pasta makes it healthier by washing away excess starch. However, Italian chefs and food scientists disagree, stating that rinsing pasta is almost always a bad idea for hot, sauced dishes but can be beneficial in certain cold preparations.
