In Italian, we say that pasta must be cooked “al dente“. Many believe it is an old proverb, but actually it is dictated by science.

If pasta is cooked “al dente“, it is composed of carbohydrates, which break-down easily and facilitate pre-digestion. However, cooked otherwise it is not.

The Simple Golden Rules for Cooking Pasta

STEP 1

Bring water to boil and add salt to taste only once the water is boiling.

STEP 2

Add pasta to salted boiling water.

STEP 3

Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

STEP 4

Drain well and serve with your favorite sauce.

A shorter cooking time results in a more al dente (firm, but tender) texture.
