How to Cook Pasta
Use between 4 and 5 quarts of boiling water for every pound of dry pasta. Add 2 tsp. of salt to every gallon of water you are using and bring water to a rolling boil. Always add pasta in small quantities to keep the water rolling boil. Start stiring with a wooden spoon immediately after adding the pasta to the water, to stop it sticking to the bottom of the cooking pan and keep stiring occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking.

Never cover the pan and always follow the package directions for cooking times. Taste the pasta to determine if it is done.


Perfect boiled pasta is cooked "al dente", which means "to the tooth" or firm to the bite, but cooked through.
 

Drain cooked pasta immediatelly to stop the cooking action and do not rinse unless the recipe says to do so.
