If you want to prepare a simple, yet tasty side dish, then you should pay attention to regular pasta.

Provided you follow the rules, pasta will be a great solution.

When cooking products, chef Yulia Arkhipova , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in culinary matters, should adhere to four rules.

What do they consist of?

There should be a lot of water

If you don't want the products to stick together into an indefinite mass, then you shouldn't save water. Yes, a large volume of liquid will take longer to boil, but this will improve the quality of the pasta.

For a large portion (200 grams) take two liters of liquid.

When to add salt

If you forget about this important component, the products risk being tasteless and bland. Salt is added at the moment of boiling.

When to add pasta

After you have added the salt and the water has boiled again, you can add the pasta itself. Also, do not forget that you will have to stir it 2-3 times during the cooking process.

Oil

Don't forget that a spoonful of vegetable oil can significantly improve the quality of the products. They won't stick together and will be more appetizing.
