As a general rule, pasta only needs to be rinsed when you are making a cold pasta salad. Most cooking resources recommend draining but not rinsing pasta if you are adding it to sauce, and rinsing for lighter applications like pasta salads where you will only be adding a light dressing.
I always drained and rinsed my pasta for years before I learned this. The last several years I have been doing it this way and it does seem to make a difference in the pasta blending with the noodles.
