I know that pasta shouldn't be rinsed if you're saucing it, but what about if you're serving it plain (immediately)? Does the removal of starch during rinsing also remove flavor, or detract from the pasta somehow? I like fresh parmesan on mine: would the stickiness of un-rinsed pasta be preferable for the cheese's adherence?
