How to cook Pasta

To cook Italian pasta (for 3-4 servings) you will need a 5-litre pan, 40 g of coarse salt (preferably sea salt) and a pack of pasta, (400 g). Follow the proportion: for 100 g of pasta – 1 liter of water and 10 g of salt.
Pour in water at a ratio of ¾ of the height of the pan.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and add salt.
Add pasta to the water stirring slowly and adding heat.
It is recommended to cook pasta in water with olive oil so that it does not stick together.
Once the pasta is cooked (see the cooking time specified on the package), drain it straight away to avoid overcooking.
Properly cooked pasta retains internal elasticity and seems slightly undercooked – al dente – which means “to the tooth”. The pasta should be soft and dense, so observe the cooking time specified on the package.
We recommend adding some hot pasta water to the sauce. This water is not only rich with healthy minerals and starch of durum wheat, but also gives the dish the right consistency.
To give a fresh taste to the ready-made sauce adds hot pasta water and olive oil.
We recommend putting cooked pasta on heated plates to preserve the taste of the dish.
