Want to cook pasta? Don't rush to put a pot of water on the stove!
Consider this: perhaps it makes sense to fry the product first.
Yes, don't be surprised! Some pasta needs to be pre-fried.
But in what cases exactly should a dry product be put in a frying pan for a short time?
This question was answered by the expert of the online publication Belnovosti in the field of cooking, chef, fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova.
Cheap pasta
Have you bought cheap and not very high-quality pasta? Don't worry! Even such a product can be prepared in such a way that it turns out to be a chic side dish!
To achieve the desired result, you must first fry the pasta in a frying pan.
Simply pour the dry product into a preheated frying pan, previously greased with vegetable oil.
The pasta should be brought to a light golden color and then cooked.
As a result, you will not get a tasteless lump, but a dish with a normal consistency and an interesting flavor note.
Pasta is an ingredient in soup
If you plan to add pasta to soup, it is advisable to fry it first.
For several reasons. Firstly, a product processed in a frying pan will not swell in the first course and will not turn into a "mess".
Secondly, the pasta will acquire an interesting color. Due to such an ingredient, the soup will look very appetizing.
Thirdly, the pasta will have a nutty flavor, which is ideal for a first course.
