Cooking pasta
Many people write about how to cook pasta to perfection so that it retains its shape and texture without making the mistake of overcooking it. Although simple in principle, it is also confusing, and many chefs even in top restaurants make this mistake.
The most common way is to cook it completely and then put it back in the pot and leave it there. Even after turning off the heat and draining, the pasta continues to cook, especially if left in a hot pan. Another common mistake.
In the kitchen, planning is important, planning ahead, estimating the cooking time for the type of pasta you are using and always being alert while cooking to check if it is ready. Pasta has its own times, depending on its size and thickness, and they are not always as indicated. It is also very important to use the necessary amount of water in the pot, 1 litre per 100 grams.
As soon as the pasta is cooked, drain, transfer to a bowl, cover with sauce and serve. This dish of pasta and sauce should be so hot when it arrives at the table that the aroma fills the dining room and lingers once it is served on the plate. They are ideal for any catering establishment, whether for restaurants, country houses, hotels, bars, pizza restaurants, etc.
