It is very easy to cook delicious pasta only at first glance. But in fact, they often turn out to be stuck together, unprepared or, on the contrary, overcooked. A quality step-by-step recipe will help to avoid this.
It is necessary
- pasta;
- convenient saucepan;
- wooden spoon;
- water;
- salt.
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to pour water into a convenient saucepan. Then the container is sent to the fire and only after boiling salt is added to it at the rate of 10 grams per one liter. This is about 2 teaspoons. But you can adjust these parameters, depending on your taste. The thing is that when you add salt to cold water, it settles on the surface of the dishes. As a result, the pan deteriorates and the dish turns out to be bland.
Step 2
Pasta is sent to boiling water. It is best to take a hard product. So that the temperature does not have a negative effect on the consistency of the dough, it is necessary to wait for the bubbling liquid and only put the pasta in it.
Step 3
The dish is cooked until tender. Leave the pasta on moderate heat, without covering it with a lid.
Step 4
To prevent our side dish or main course from turning into one large flatbread, it must be constantly stirred. It is most convenient to do this with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Usually, the optimal cooking time for a particular type of pasta is indicated on the product packaging. They should become soft, but at the same time dense enough, not boiled.
Step 5
It is very important to note that high-quality expensive durum wheat pasta is not washed! They can be served immediately with a suitable sauce.
