Cooking pasta is very simple: pour the product into boiling water, cook and season with sauce. Even the most inexperienced cook can handle it.
However, not everyone can prepare truly delicious pasta that you won’t be ashamed to serve on the table.
There are a few simple rules that, if followed, will help you prepare a truly masterpiece dish.
Some housewives use an unusual trick when preparing pasta: they fry it before cooking.
Many may be outraged: why fry dry pasta when you can just boil it?
Not all pasta is made from durum wheat, and if the cook is not paying attention, the dish may spoil: the pasta will swell and lose its shape, and soup made from such pasta will turn into porridge.
Lifehack with roasting
Housewives have learned to fry pasta before cooking to help the pasta retain its shape during the cooking process.
It is important to know that when fried, pasta ends up acquiring a slightly different flavor, which becomes similar to nutty.
How to fry pasta properly
This should be done in a frying pan without oil or in the oven until golden brown.
Some people fry pasta in vegetable oil:
- First you need to heat the frying pan;
- add pasta;
- fry, stirring constantly.
The degree of roasting is up to each person, but it is important to remember that the taste of the pasta will differ because of this.
