I don't, but I do shock them with cold water. So the noodle stays the texture I perfer

I only cook a couple of minutes and do not dry afterwards.

Just in case I am not understanding your question correctly I have added some links at the bottom.
I'm assuming you are asking about whether to dry store bought pasta after it has finished cooking.

In case you or anyone wishes to know about drying homemade pasta here is an excellent link:

When my family used to go camping I liked to dehydrate my noodles so they could be cooked with less water and also cooked very fast. If interested, check out this link:

Can you please clarify your question?

You want to cook noodles and then sauce them?

Or do you want to dry them for some other reason?

Just cook, drain, no need to dry them. I would use a little vegetable oil...a teaspoon of so...in the water to keep them from sticking. Enjoy!!

Straining your noodles of the water is usually recommended when noodles are cooked. This is used with a strainer or as much water pour off as you can if strainer is not available.
