How long do I have to cook The Pasta House pasta for al-dente consistency?
Each type of pasta cooks a little bit differently, so please be sure to follow the instructions on the package. Here are some tried and true Italian techniques to ensure your pasta is perfetta every time:
Fill your pot about three-quarters full with water.
Adding salt to the water is an important step, and as a general rule, it should be as salty as the ocean.
Fresh pasta cooks faster than dry pasta; you only need to let it cook for 4 minutes, or until desired tenderness.
When your pasta is ready, drain the water and add your favourite sauce.
TPH Tip Save about 250mL (1 cup) of the pasta water before you drain it. Use this when you add your sauce to the pasta; the extra starch in the pasta water helps to create a silkier sauce.
Buon appetito!
