Coat all your pasta in the sauce, adding the water as needed. If you follow the tips shared in this guide, you will have cleaned plates and no reason for the dish to be tossed out. But if you do have some pasta left, do not put it in the garbage disposal. Dishes cooked in water, including rice and pasta, may continue to expand in the garbage disposal, clogging your drain. The only thing that is worse than undercooking your pasta is overcooking it.
Undercooked pasta can be hard to chew, but at least you can continue cooking it. Start timing when the water starts to a boil—most pasta cooks between 8 to 12 minutes. Try your pasta after about four minutes of cooking by tasting it.
Stuffed pasta, like ravioli, rises to the surface when done. Avoid adding oil to the pasta water and stir it often for even cooking. Should you cover your pasta when cooking it?

It tells you on the package how long it takes the pasta to cook al dente in boiling water. Al dente being firm, and usually one minute more for softer, which I prefer. Setting a timer works well.
So if it says 8 minutes al dente, cook 9 minutes for the softer version. And we always finish our pasta by tossing it in a pan of sauce. If you think about it though, that sauce in the pan cooks the pasta a second time.
It is unlikely for raw pasta to be contaminated with parasites, such as tapeworms, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Parasites are typically transmitted to the host through raw or undercooked foods and water and contaminated soil. Most people are surprised that cooked pasta and rice is a food poisoning risk.

A trick I use is: Read the time on the package If that time is less than 8 minutes: boil the pasta for 2 minutes, otherwise boil for 3 minutes Turn off the heat Leave standing still in the hot water for the time on the package do not subtract the 2 or 3 minutes! Drain The nice thing is that it saves a spot of on the stove you can remove the pan on step 3.

You get some people who have the pasta very crowded on barely a simmer, and others with a huge vat of water on a fierce boil.
Makes a difference, which I guess is why they state vacuous timings. The other brand I used to used was San Remo? That had solid times too. It just said "7 min" or "9 min".
I think the next best way is to taste. Senthil Senthil When it comes to spaghetti and sauce, I am finicky. Three things must be true. The pasta noodles must be 'al-dente'. The meat sauce must be thick enough to stand a metal ladle up in. The two must never be mixed together until serving.

Ultimately, you want the simmer to barely bubble You need to tend to the pot in the first minutes, to adjust the simmer, and also to stir. Once the simmer is set, and you've stirred a few times to prevent sticking , you can tend to other kitchen tasks Return to stir every minute or so. Thicker pasta needs less attention more time between stirs.
What you are doing when you stir is sensing the tension of the pasta. Also pull it up and look at it. If it feels or looks stiff still, you don't need to taste it Once it starts looking and feeling like pasta you'd want to serve, now taste, and often. The good thing about getting the water to a low simmer is that it will cook more slowly, and uniformly. Once it tastes like you want your pasta, put it through a colander and rinse with cool water.
This is assuming you're not making stuffed pasta, like tortellini or ravioli. I would not use a colander. Instead use a large basket utensil to pull them out of the water. I'm sorry It's one thing if the end recipe is a cold dish like pasta salad but it's generally not recommended for hot dishes.
I understand your explanation for using a lower boil but I find that high boils keep the pasta stirred for me, so I don't see that as a benefit as it means I have to tend the pasta more often.
Absolutely works. Probably a bit more sanitary to just taste it though. Satanicpuppy Satanicpuppy
