Is it possible to safely save starchy pasta water, the water left over from cooking pasta?
I made some cacio e pepe earlier and the residual water left in the skillet was quit starchy. I can think of several instances where that additional water might be useful. Can it be saved in the fridge or the freezer? Any idea for how long?
