Making pasta is not that difficult, especially if you are talking about quality products.
However, in the hands of an experienced housewife, even cheap pasta turns out delicious.
What tricks do they know?
Proportions
The main task is to maintain the correct proportions. Therefore, for a portion consisting of one hundred grams of pasta, you need to take a liter of water and no more than ten grams of salt.
This is the ratio that is classic and correct.
Oil
Don't forget about vegetable oil, which will protect the pasta from turning into a not very appetizing mass. As a rule, just one spoon is enough.
It is believed that olive oil can add a slight hint of flavor to the pasta, which will benefit it.
Water temperature
In order for pasta to be of high quality, it is impossible to put it in cold water. Only boiling water is considered to be the real best option.
Lid
Not all housewives know that you should not use a lid when preparing a side dish of pasta. This can significantly worsen the quality of the side dish.
