Don't overcook the pasta initially; it will continue to cook when reheated. Rinsing with cold water is crucial to stop the cooking process and prevent mushy pasta. Tossing with olive oil prevents the pasta from sticking together in the refrigerator. For best results, reheat only the amount of pasta you need.
