Pasta Cooking Tips

Love pasta? These tips should ensure perfect pasta every time...
  • Always use a really big pot with a heavy bottom. Add a lot of water
  • Use filtered water rather than tap (i.e. remove the chlorine taste)
  • Add salt to the water only once the water is boiling
  • Add the pasta after the salt
  • Add quality olive oil to stop it sticking together
  • Pasta is said to be done when it's al dente. It should be firm when you bite it. Don't overcook it
  • Never fully drain pasta after cooking. Always keep some of the cooking liquid with pasta
  • Never add totally drained pasta to the sauce. It should have the cooking liquid in it
