Don't make it as salty as sea water, that's waaay too much salt. I live in Hawaii and read this tip before so I decided to test it. I figured why make sea water when I live in the middle of an ocean. So I gathered sea water from around 6 miles offshore and strained it to ensure I wasn't getting anything but sea water and made pasta with it. The pasta was absolutely inedible it was so salty

LOL what an experiment. Iirc Gordon Ramsey said it like that on some segment about boiling pasta but I doubt he went to the lengths you did to verify his claim
