Basics dried pasta

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
20 cups Water
2 tablespoons Salt
1 pounds Dried pasta

Directions

Basics for new cooks:

In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil. Stir in pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain well.

Tip: Fine strands and small shapes of dried pasta cook in as little as 3 minutes.

Tip: If pasta is to be coated with a sauce, do not rinse. The starchy coating on pasta aids in holding sauce to the pasta.
