    You should still be salting your water. It does nothing to prevent the pasta sticking, but it does make it taste better.

        It’s not the same effect. Then the sauce will be salted, and the pasta will maybe absorb some of that salt.

        But, in my opinion, that’s an inelegant solution.

        I personally do not want any more salt in the pasta sauce than what’s already in there. I do, however, want my pasta to take in a little salt from the water.

        For those reasons, I add a little salt to my water as it’s boiling

        It changes the way the pasta itself tastes, and is very different from adding it it the sauce.
