Don’t rinse pasta after you cook it. Yes, water will cool it down so you don't burn your mouth, but it will also remove the layer of starch that helps the sauce adhere to the noodles.
There are two exceptions to this rule.
If you’re making a cold pasta salad, do rinse away that
layer of starch. Otherwise your noodles
will stick together.
If you’re making an Asian stir-fry with cooked noodles, rinse those noodles too or they will stick together in the wok.
