Cooking pasta is a very simple process, however it is important to note that cooking the pasta to "Al Dente" is extremely important. Al dente described when pasta or rice is cooked in such a way that it has a firm bite and not a soft melt in the mouth bite. It is the ideal consistency for pasta which involves a brief cooking time, draining the water and rinsing it in cold water to prevent the cooking process.

  1. To begin cooking the Pasta, fill a large pot with water and bring it to boil. 

  2. Add the pasta to the boiling water along with some salt and cook the pasta in the boiling water.

  3. Cook until the pasta is al dente (just cooked with a firm bite) , this will take about easy 10-12 minutes of your time.
