4 Homemade pasta mistakes

You will definitely be satisfied after reading through my write up

1. Not always using a big pot: It allows the cook to add enough water and by so doing the spaghetti will definitely cook best. But when pasta is added to a small amount of water the temperature drops more than it would in a large amount of water.

2. Not salting the spaghetti water: Some people think that salting pasta water while cooking doesn’t really make a difference but this is wrong. Firstly, adding salt tends to increase the boiling point. Salting the water helps to season the spaghetti internally as it absorbs the water and swells.

In conclusion, salted pasta water leads to tastier spaghetti it should not be neglected.

3) Not adding oil to your cooking water: truly some people add vegetable oil to pasta water to stop the pot from boiling over and sticking together. But I don’t do that. Because this is what I can check over and over again.

4) Waiting too long to stir your spaghetti: waiting too long makes the pasta stick together. This is because pasta releases a_lot of starch as it cooks. Let’s be guided.

How to Parboil your spaghetti

Rinse your big pot, pour in enough water, in fact in order not to make your spaghetti stick together, use at least 3-4 quarts of water for every pound of spaghetti. Cover it and allow it to boil.

Break the spaghetti into two add it to the boiling water, but at least 1_2 spoons of salt to the spaghetti, cover, and allow to boil for about 35 seconds.

Stir very well, bring it down wash it for an out 4-5 good times, you must notice a big difference if washed properly, leave it in the sieve, cover it and set aside.
