No, it just keeps some things like pasta from sticking together. You really don't need it

if you have enough water in a large pot and stir to separate the pasta when it begins to boil again.

How much salt do you put in to make the water boil faster?

Adding salt to water actually increases its boiling point, so it will take longer for saltwater to boil compared to plain water. It is not recommended to add salt solely to make the water boil faster.

Why is it important to add the penne to boiling water?

If you add any type of pasta into a pot of cold water then boil this will cause starches to dissolve the pasta surface, in a result the pasta will stick. When the water is boiled at its highest temperature, the pasta will cook to perfection and faster.

Does spaghetti cook faster in salt water or plain water?

Spaghetti will cook faster in salt water compared to plain water because the salt increases the boiling point of the water, allowing it to reach a higher temperature more quickly. This results in faster cooking times for the pasta.

Why does water with salt boil faster then pure water?

The salt alters the boiling point of the water so that it is lower, hence the faster boiling time. Actually, the addition of salt to water elevates its boiling point. This can be proven by a simple experiment. Boil water in a pot on the stove. Just as the water is starting to boil add copious amounts of salt. You should find that the water ceases to boil. If the water were to commence to boil more vigorously then this would confirm that the boiling point is depressed. The reason for the elevated boiling point is that the addition of salt (a polar compound) creates and additional bond between itself and the (polar) water molecules. This bond represents additional energy that must now be over-come to make the water boil.
