How not to cook pasta: the most common mistakes that make it tasteless

Often the pasta sticks together, boils and turns out unleavened. All this is due to improper cooking techniques. Namely: water temperature, boiling with or without a lid, with or without rinsing.

The editors of FoodOboz will reveal the most common mistakes that are made when cooking pasta. If you follow the following tips - the dish will turn out perfect both in taste and consistency.

Do not pour into cold water.

The water for the pasta should first be boiled and salted. Also, add a tablespoon of oil to keep the products from sticking together. In addition, properly boiled pasta does not need to be rinsed, because this process only spoils the taste.

Do not cook pasta under a lid for a long time

If the pasta is covered with a lid, it will simply overcook. All you need to do is follow the cooking instructions on the package.

Cooking without salt

You can't make delicious pasta without adding salt. The spice should be added at the moment when the water is actively boiling. The products will have a good taste and will not boil over. The main thing is not to miss the moment.

Not enough water

It is necessary to observe the clear proportions of water and products. If there is not enough liquid - the pasta will simply not cook. In addition, the starch will be very noticeable in the taste.

You should not cook pasta for several days at once

It is better to eat pasta immediately after boiling it - that's when they are the most delicious. If you leave it for the next day - the dish will spoil. It should not be left in the refrigerator either.

You can't leave cooked pasta in the water

The longer the pasta is in the water, the smoke spoils more. Therefore, immediately after boiling, the products should be dumped in a colander.
