Its one of my favorite, most versatile freezer hacks.
Lets just say that I didnt grow up with a Nonna who taught me the art of pasta making.
Pasta contains a lot of starch.

Adding a few cubes of frozen pasta water cools it quickly without watering it down.
The end result is super creamy, without any of those not-so-tasty powdered cheese clumps.
Place leftover cold pasta in a small skillet with one or two pasta water cubes.

For Tricky Sauces
Sometimes pasta is tricky, like when attempting an emulsified sauce such ascarbonara.
I like having pasta water on hand for such sauces since time is of the essence.
That way my sauce is ready to go as soon as the pasta is al dente.

For Thinning Out Gravy
Is there anything more stressful than making gravy?
It can go from too thin to too thick in the blink of an eye.
Pasta water cubes help you get the perfect consistency while seasoning the gravy at the same time.

Same goes for anypan sauce.
To Reheat Risotto
There is nothing quite like a plate of freshly maderisotto.
Its truly a labor of love, and the proper consistency is meant to flow like lava.
