Usually housewives immediately pour raw pasta into boiling water.
But some clever cooks do it differently: first they put the pasta in a dry frying pan.
It turns out that in some cases, pre-frying the product is a must.
So, in what two situations should you reheat raw pasta in a frying pan?
Not all pasta products can be called high-quality.
It often turns out that instead of a normal side dish, you get a lump of stuck together and not the most appetizing pasta.
To avoid this outcome, poor quality spaghetti or shells should be pre-fried.
The frying pan should be dry: no need to add oil.
The procedure should last one to two minutes. The pasta should be stirred during this time.
If you do the preliminary steps, the pasta will not stick together during cooking. In addition, the taste of the dish will be revealed much better.
Are you planning to make a soup that includes vermicelli as one of its ingredients? Fry the product - and then it will not swell while in boiling water.
You need to act in the same way as in the previous point.
Adding pre-processed vermicelli to the soup is a guarantee of getting the perfect first course, and not “porridge”.
