A pat of butter in there will also thicken it, and
embue it with a silky texture.

Yeah that goes in there, and a little olive oil.

After cooking and collandering the pasta, I like to
dump it back in the pot, drizzle it with a little
olive oil, shake in some grated parmesan or romano,
garlic powder and parsely flakes, and give it a
real good stir. I think it makes the noodles a little
less naked. But that's mostly just when I'm using a
tomato-y sauce like marinara. Spinach linguini with
clam sauce gets it's own treatment. Dry vermouth works
nicely in clam sauce.

The depressing thing on reading this is that I just arrived
home from a long trip and just cooked some pasta and finished
up a jar of sauce. If I'd only read this first ....

This is unlikely to be what the O.P.'s correspondent meant by
cooking down, but it's almost certainly healthier than
whatever meaning the O.P.'s correspondent was intending.

Well, there's always next time. Anyhow, there's just something
about the sight of ectoplasm-white, cooked noodles that just
makes me wanna dress em up somehow. I consider sesame oil a
Godsend, too -- it gives steam-fry noodles a lovely tan, as
well as imparting a nice, nutty flavour to them.

"While you're sitting back
in your rose-pink Cadillac,
Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day,
I'll be in my basement room
With a bowl of ice cream and a spoon,
And another bike to fix up ..."

cheers,
