The typical mistake most people make is that they simply overcook the pasta, which ruins its structure.
Experienced housewives try to undercook pasta, and why they do this is worth looking into in a little more detail.
Maintaining texture
Undercooking pasta helps maintain its texture and firmness, known as "al dente."
This Italian term translates as "under the tooth", indicating the ideal combination of elasticity and softness.
Healthier nutrition
Undercooked pasta has a lower glycemic index, meaning it digests more slowly and doesn't cause a sharp rise in blood sugar.
This makes them a more useful product for those who monitor their blood glucose levels.
Improved taste
Al dente pasta has a richer flavor and aroma because it retains more starch and other nutrients. This allows you to fully enjoy the flavor of sauces and other toppings.
Saving time and energy
It also significantly reduces the time and energy spent on preparing a meal.
Instead of waiting for the pasta to become soft, you can enjoy your lunch or dinner faster.
