I learned that SCUBA stands for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus from Alex P. Keeton on Family Ties.  It stuck with me!

    Really? Do you remember why not? I always rinse my pasta, though I haven't a clue what makes me do that.

    Seriously?  I always rinse mine to keep it from sticking after it's been sitting for a few minutes.

    Not to press a burger when you're grilling it. Probably from Alton Brown :)

    One reason you do not rinse pasta is because the starch that is on it after cooking is what helps a sauce to adhere to it- once its rinsed off the sause won't 'stick'

    like a pp said, rinsing removes the starches which are what actually help the sauce to "stick" to the pasta.  The only time you should rinse pasta after draining is when you are going to use it in a cold dish and when you are not going to sauce and serve immediately.  In those cases, rinse under cold tap water to stop the cooking process.  If you watch Rachel Ray enough, she will tell you this too!!
