Ingredients

• Cooking Pasta

Method (preview)

1. 1

   Start with at least 1 quart of water for every 4 ounces of pasta (1 gallon of water for 1 pound of pasta). Salting the water is optional and not necessary for proper cooking of pasta.

2. 2

   Let the water come to a full boil before gradually adding pasta so that the water keeps boiling. Cook the pasta uncovered and at a fast boil. If the water stops boiling, cover it until it returns. (Take the cover off again as soon as it begins to boil.) Stir the pasta often so it will cook evenly and to prevent sticking.
