Title: Dried Pasta
Categories: Pasta
Yield: 4 Servings
| 20 | c | Water |
| 2 | tb | Salt |
| 1 | lb | Dried pasta |
Basics for new cooks:
In large pot, cover and bring water and salt to full rolling boil. Stir in pasta, separating pieces; return to boil and boil, uncovered and stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until tender but firm. Drain well.
Tip: Fine strands and small shapes of dried pasta cook in as little as 3 minutes.
Tip: If pasta is to be coated with a sauce, do not rinse. The starchy coating on pasta aids in holding sauce to the pasta.
