He said filming the pasta water clip was "easy" as he only had to cook two batches of pasta - one with salt in the water and one without.
Cooking pasta might seem straightforward - boil water, toss in the pasta, and cook for about 10 minutes -but achieving delectable pasta perfection is subject to debate.
While his pasta was boiling, Mattia debunked the common myth that the water should have so much salt that it "tastes like the ocean", as he said this was "way too salty".
Chef Mattia Moleri shared his experiment on TikTok, revealing that he was prompted by a comment on a previous video to put the pasta water debate to the ultimate test.
