Cooking Pasta

Add 2 tsp (10 mL) salt and

1 tbs (15 mL) oil (optional) to

6 qt (5.7 L) boiling water. Gradually add pasta and continue to cook at a boil until pasta is “al dente” or slightly firm to the bite. Pasta floats to the top of the water while cooking, so stir occasionally to keep it cooking evenly. Drain in a colander. Dry pasta – 7 minutes

Fresh pasta – 2–5 minutes depending on thickness of noodles
