No matter how simple cooking pasta may seem, the vast majority of housewives make gross mistakes during cooking, from the point of view of cooks.
Try to avoid these mistakes and maybe you will understand why the pasta you cook at home and the ones served in restaurants taste different.
First, it is worth noting that you should not buy the cheapest pasta made from first grade flour.
Such pasta is always boiled into porridge and it’s impossible to cook a gourmet dish from them.
You will have to try even so that such pasta does not stick together during cooking.
As for mistakes, every second housewife makes the following.
Cold water
Every second housewife throws pasta into cold or warm water.
Cooks recommend throwing pasta into boiling water. Not even the one that is about to boil.
In addition, you can not wash pasta under cold water - such an action will shock any restaurant chef and fans of Italian cuisine.
Pasta does not require rinsing. Properly cooked pasta should not stick together and therefore do not need to be washed.
Long cooking time covered
Housewives often make the following mistake: they throw pasta into the water and remember about the pot on the stove after 10-15 minutes, when it says on the package that this particular pasta needs to be cooked for 6 or 7 minutes.
Ideally, the pasta should be cooked to the point where it remains a little firm inside. The cooking time on the package is indicated for a reason.
In addition, cooks do not recommend covering the pasta with a lid during cooking.
Moreover, after cooking, the water must immediately be drained and the spaghetti should be thrown into a colander, and not left to "float", otherwise they will swell and lose their appetizing appearance.
