Do you need to rinse pasta?

• If you are using gluten free style pasta I would recommend rinsing with cold water after cooking to prevent it from building up a goo.
• If you are using regular dried pasta I would recommend that you do not rinse it with cold water. Rinsing pasta with cold water removes the starch which helps absorb the taste and sauce.
