Basics dried pasta
4 Servings
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
20 | cups | Water |
2 | tablespoons | Salt |
1 | pounds | Dried pasta |
Basics for new cooks:
In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil. Stir in pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain well.
Tip: Fine strands and small shapes of dried pasta cook in as little as 3 minutes.
Tip: If pasta is to be coated with a sauce, do not rinse. The starchy coating on pasta aids in holding sauce to the pasta.
