Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:
There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.
But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.
I wouldn’t call it stock, but Italians do indeed use pasta water in many of their sauces. Makes sense because it’s basically just starchy water, which helps to bind the sauce.
That said, you generally don’t need more than one or two cups of it, the rest is still thrown out.
Have you ever cooked pasta?
my favorite part of spaghetti is drinking the spaghetti soup :3
You mean Saturn tea?
Pasta doesn’t lose the majority of its vitamins to its cooking water though. (Mostly because pasta doesn’t have many vitamins to begin with)

I did not argue that. I was just pointing out a funny edge case in the previous poster’s argument.
That said, even actual vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes are often boiled in water without the intention of making soup.
If you’re throwing out the pasta water, you’re wasting some very good stock to make the sauce you’ll put on said pasta.
