Soak spaghetti in cold water?!
Instead of cooking pasta, will soaking it in cold water eventually soften the noodles!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Nope!. they are all wrong!. You need to boil the pasta (unless its no boil) because there is starch in the pasta and it has to reach a certain temperature to "set" or gel!. So if you just soak the pasta the starch will never gel!. I worked on pasta for a large food company for about 10 years!.
