Bravo. * set your timer for a minute less than the cooking time on the box, check for doneness, then give it another minute if needed

Please eat the pasta al dente. Overcooked pasta is really awful, trust me

No need to trust you. I tried it myself. Food preferences are subjective and I prefer overcooked pasta to al dente...

Sorry, but your grandma doesn't get to tell people how to enjoy their food.

I will never ever ask for a well-done steak, but I won't judge someone for enjoying it that way.

I'm Italian and I don't like pasta al dente. Obviously neither overcooked, but I like it cooked. In fact it's a drama that since some years they started making pasta which remains al dente: I usually cook it at least 5 minutes longer than what is written and it is still slightly al dente: very disappointing.
