So you’ve ‘forked’ out (😅sorry, couldn’t help it ) for that artisan pasta and your all geared up for a special meal. Don’t fall on the last hurdle. Follow our simple steps below to cooking that pasta to perfection 👌👌
1️⃣Dig out your biggest pan. We recommend bringing to the boil around 1 litre of water for every 100 g of pasta you want to cook .
Top tip ➡️Use a wide pan that your shape fits into especially for long pasta like spaghetti so you don’t have to break the pasta 😉!
2️⃣ Listen to ciaosamin and Salt, Salt, Salt that water ‘til it tastes like the sea !
3️⃣ Wait until the water is on a rolling boil before adding the pasta.
4️⃣ Stir IMMEDIATELY with a wooden spoon to avoid the pasta sticking together.
5️⃣ Don’t put the laundry on! The cooking time on the pack should only be seen as a GUIDE. The only way to know if the pasta is done is to keep TASTING it ! Getting distracted or just putting a timer on may mean you miss that magic 🪄moment!
6️⃣When it’s got a chewy ‘al dente’ centre or is to your liking, drain it,keeping back some of the pasta water.
7️⃣Add the pasta to your pan of sauce and stir together on the heat, slackening with a ladle of the pasta water .
8️⃣ Shower with cheese, or not, and serve smugly, on a warm plate to your special someone.
Buon appetito!! 😎 #howtocookpasta #pastatips #cookingpasta #italiancooking #cooklikeanitalian #cooklikeapro #cooklikeachef #artisanpasta
