Oh no, sounds like you're in a pasta pickle! πŸ™ˆ When rigatoni starts feeling too soft and loses that bite, it's gone overcooked. Look out for it getting too squishy or breaking apart easily when you stir. Don't worry though, happens to the best of us! Thanks a bunch for the tips on saving it from becoming mush, you're a lifesaver! 🍝πŸ’ͺ
 
Overcooking pasta can make it mushy and lose its texture. A better choice is to constantly check it towards the end of cooking and drain it promptly when it's just al dente.
