Pasta Tips

2. Throw the pasta into pre-s alted and boiled water. The main thing is not to digest them. Otherwise it will be porridge.
3. Immediately put the entire amount of pasta into the pan. We interfere only once - at the very beginning of cooking.
4. After you dip the spaghetti into the boiling water, you need to put a little pressure on them, pushing them into the water. After a few minutes of cooking, the lower part of the product will go limp, which means it will easily go to the bottom of the pan.
5. It is best to arrange spaghetti on plates with special tongs. We raise them high above the dish to separate the portion from the main mass. Using a fork, you can make "nests" of spaghetti.
6. If cooking pasta is an intermediate step, then the cooking time should be reduced by 2 times.
7. To keep the spaghetti from drying out, leave some liquid in it.
