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?

You might want to check it before the time is up though since fresh pasta cooks much quicker than dried pasta. Boiling dried pasta takes 8-10 minutes, fresh pasta cooks in 2-3 minutes. later...K
