Get your pasta right: 8 tips
Get your pasta right with these 8 tips:
-
Use a large pot to boil water and cook pasta 💦 This allows movement for the pasta. Too little water results in uneven cooking and too much starch which makes the pasta sticky
-
Salt your pasta water generously to flavor the pasta from the inside out so that every bite is flavourful rather than just sauce coating the outside 🍝
-
Bring the water to a full boil, or rolling boil, before adding the pasta. 🫧
-
Don’t just dump and run! ⚠️Separate pasta with tongs from the beginning so it doesn’t clump together.
-
Test the pasta two minutes ⏲️ before it’s “al dente”.
-
Take out pasta when it’s slightly underdone than “al dente” and leave to cook in sauce so it can further absorb more flavours in 💥
-
Save a cup of pasta water💧 This helps bind the pasta sauce and noodles together to give it a luscious ‘creamy’ consistency.
-
Best practice: Drop hot pasta from the pot into the sauce, toss and serve immediately! Pasta waits for no man 🙅🏼♀️
