The 5 biggest mistakes when cooking pasta - to cook pasta without making a mistake, follow these expert tips and you will never serve bad pasta again.
Discover how to prevent pasta from sticking and use the water it was cooked in.
1. We use too small a cooking vessel
In the case of pasta, size really matters ie. it is important to cook it in a large pot with plenty of water because it will expand during cooking and will need space. If not cooked in enough water, the paste will be sticky and mushy.
2. We salt the water too soon
Experts say that the pasta should be salted only when it boils, a moment before you put the pasta in it, because that way the pasta will absorb the salt better. Therefore, do not salt it at the beginning of cooking, while it is cold.
3. We put the oil in the water
Many will put oil in the water at the beginning of cooking, because they have heard that then the pasta will not be sticky. You will solve the problem of possible stickiness by stirring the pasta regularly during cooking, and avoid adding oil because a fatty layer will form on the pasta, which will cause the sauce to slide off it.
4. Wash the pasta after cooking
This process actually washes out the flavor and natural starch that will give the pasta its creamy texture.
5. We throw away the water in which it was cooked
A large amount of the previously mentioned starch remains in the water after cooking, and chefs advise that you use this water to thicken the sauce you want to serve with the pasta and forget about adding flour or sprinkles.
