Tips for cooking pasta for dinner
- Don’t add oil to the water, or to cooked pasta to keep it from sticking, In fact, it will cause your pasta sauce to slip off the noodles and increase the chance of ending up with a greasy pasta dish.
- Use a lot of water so there will still be plenty of room for the noodles to cook and expand. The rule of thumb is at least three liters of water to every 9oz of pasta.
- As soon as you drop your uncooked pasta in the water, stir it. This prevents the pasta from sticking to the bottom or sides of the pot. Don’t forget to stir occasionally during the cooking process to avoid pasta sticking together like a block.
