I'm not sure if anyone else runs into this, but I feel cursed by bad pasta.

Every time I boil it, I inevitably get pasta that is under-cooked in the center while mushy on the outside. I've had some times where I've had to boil it for several minutes more than recommended just to get the inside to cook fully.

And even a few minutes in, the pasta seems to split apart into pieces.

I've tried 'quieter' more simmer-y boils, I've tried cranking it up as far as it goes, I've tried salt, I've tried different stoves, nothing has seemed to help.

Maybe it's just low-quality noodles, I don't know.
