How Pasta Is Cooked in Italy
As the Zen channel “Technologist’s Kitchen” reports, pasta must be cooked in a large saucepan.
Pour in a lot of water (a liter per 100 grams of pasta), cover the pan with a lid, and bring the water to a strong boil.
Add salt, put in the pasta. You don't need to cook much, 100-125 grams of pasta is enough for one person.
Cover the pan with a lid so that the water boils faster. The pasta should be cooked in boiling water.
After boiling, remove the lid and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally. Real Italian pasta should be slightly undercooked.
Italians do not pour out the water in which the pasta was cooked, but use it to make sauce.
