how much salt from pasta water stays on pasta
The concern is sodium, not salt. If you cook pasta according to package instructions, then the salted water will pass a high level of sodium into the pasta. 1 teaspoon of salt contains 2,350 mg of sodium.A teaspoon of salt weighs 6 grams.ust curious: you refer to one teaspoon as quite a bit of salt, but you didn't specify how much pasta you are cooking. I once read the guideline that for cooking pasta, you should use 1 liter of water with 10 g of salt per 100 g of pasta.
