Tips and Tricks while cooking PastaAlways bring the water to a rolling boil before adding the pasta to it, and stir it in right after adding. Do not add oil while boiling the pasta since the water won’t let it cling to the pasta, hence it will serve no purpose. You can always find cooking time on the packet of the pasta you’re using.Always cook your pasta to be al dente - which means to have a bite. This ensure the pasta in your end dish is not mushy and limp. |
