Always bring your water to boil first!. Then put in your pasta!. Bring it to a boil again and watch until it is done!. It doesn't take long for thin pasta!.


I do have a trick that you won't find on any box!. I bring water to a boil, add the pasta, bring it to a boil and stir it!. Then I cover it and turn the heat off!. Perfect pasta in 10 minutes!.
No overcooked glop!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

All dry pastas are different and I follow the package instructions!. I wouldn't ever turn the water down to a simmer however because it could make the pasta starchy!. My husband got impatient once and put the pasta in the water before it boiled!. The pasta turned into a disgusting starchy mess!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't know about all that, what i do is bring the water to a boil, then i add the pasta to the boiling water and let cook for about 7 mins, or until tender, then strain!.That's it!Www@FoodAQ@Com

i've always boiled the water then added the pasta and kept it boiling for like 12 minutesWww@FoodAQ@Com
