This is a free illustration of a pot where pasta and a pouch of instant sauce are being boiled together. At first glance, it might seem like a clever time-saving trick—but believe it or not, this method once sparked heated debate online.
Some people praised it for saving gas, water, and dishes. Others called it “unsanitary” or “just wrong.” Food manufacturers like House Foods even issued statements saying they don’t recommend reusing the water after boiling a sauce pouch, though they confirmed it’s not harmful. Cooking experts noted that if you don’t stir the pasta properly, it might stick together or cook unevenly—especially if the water cools down when the sauce pouch is added.
So, is it really that bad to boil them together? We say: What’s wrong with boiling pasta and sauce at the same time!? What did I ever do to deserve this judgment!?
