Pasta is considered to be an easy-to-prepare side dish.

In fact, it is very easy to spoil the taste of a dish.

It's enough to make one "minor" mistake - and the pasta will not be the most appetizing.

Unfortunately, this mistake is very common. As a result, many housewives always end up with a side dish that is stuck together and tasteless.

The expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, cook, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova reminded us of an important rule that should always be followed when cooking pasta.

What rule are we talking about?

The ratio of water to pasta is important.

You don't think this is a matter of principle? In vain, because a mistake will certainly result in an unappetizing lump instead of a normal side dish.

If you start cooking a lot of pasta in a small amount of water, the starch content of the liquid will be very high.

This will cause the pasta to stick together and give it a less than pleasant taste.

For every 100 grams of flour product there should be from half a liter to a liter of liquid.

Therefore, try to choose a large pot. It is unlikely that you will be able to cook a lot of tasty pasta in a small container.

Earlier, the expert shared a recipe for a delicious and filling lazy pasta.
