For many, spaghetti is the best choice for a main course.
This simple and affordable product can always pleasantly surprise us, especially if we prepare a delicious sauce for it.
However, sometimes we do not know all the intricacies of cooking a product. Therefore, some may break spaghetti to place it conveniently in a saucepan. But a professional would never do this, noted Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
Why you shouldn't break spaghetti?
The pasta will stick together
Keeping the spaghetti intact helps keep the starch under control. If it breaks, it will start to leak into the pan, causing the pasta to stick together.
Difficulty telling time
When cooking whole spaghetti, you can safely rely on the information provided by the manufacturer. If you break the pasta, it will be ready much faster.
As a result, the risk of getting an overcooked mass instead of an appetizing side dish increases.
Use
It is the length of the spaghetti that allows it to be eaten so comfortably. If you break it, the pasta will become much shorter. As a result, it will be much more difficult to eat it with a fork.
