How do i make macroni noodles swell LARGE?
Answers:
get the salty water boiling good,add the noodles,let the boiling come back up and then cover the pot with a lid and lower the heat.wait 20 mins..check for size...do not overcook..as soon as they are the size you want ..IMEDIATELY drain the pasta.or else it will be limp and nasty
overcook them. the more water that they get in them the bigger they get. remember tho they will only rehydrate so much after that they turn to mush.
Remove from the heat and let them absorbe the water.
The longer you cook it the more it will swell, to a point. Of course it will eventually turn into mush.
Just boil them and boil them until they're the size you want.
