Steps:
- Bring salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and stir for 15 to 20 seconds to prevent pasta from sticking to itself.
- Around the 10 minute mark take a noodle and bite it in 1/2. There should be a little bit of white, uncooked noodle in the centre. Drain pasta and mix in with sauce to finish cooking.
HOW TO COOK PERFECT PASTA
This is very helpful if you tend to overcook your pasta. Pasta should be "al dente" or tender to the bite. Poor quality pasta often ends up sticky and soggy. So when you buy your pasta, make sure it says pasta di semola di grano duro - durum wheat semolina pasta.

Steps:
- Always use a very large cooking pot, making sure you have at least 4 pints (2.25 litres) of water to every 8 oz (225 g) of pasta, with 1 level tablespoon of salt added. Before the pasta goes in make sure the water is up to a good fierce boil.
- Add the pasta as quickly as possible and stir it around just once to separate it.
- If you're cooking long pasta like spaghetti, push it against the base of the pan and, as you feel it give, keep pushing until it all collapses down into the water.
- You don't need to put a lid on the pan: if it's really boiling briskly it will come back to the boil in seconds and, if you put a lid on, it will boil over.
- Put a timer on and give it 10-12 minutes for top-quality pasta, but because this timing varies according to the shape and quality of the pasta, the only real way to tell is to taste it. So do this after 8 minutes, then 9, and 10, and so on. This only applies when you cook a particular brand for the first time. After that you will always know how long it takes. Sometimes you can give it 1 minute's less boiling and then allow an extra minute's cooking while you combine it with the sauce.
- Have a colander ready in the sink then, as you are draining the water, swirl it around the colander, which will heat it ready for the hot pasta. Don't drain it too thoroughly: it's good to have a few drops of moisture still clinging as this prevents the pasta from becoming dry.
- Place the colander containing the pasta back over the saucepan to catch any drips.
- Always serve the pasta on deep warmed plates to keep it as hot as possible as it goes to the table.
- For spaghetti, the very best way to serve it is to use pasta tongs, and always lift it high to quickly separate each portion from the rest.
- Always work quickly, as pasta won't hang around - if it cools it goes sticky and gluey, so drain it quickly, serve it quickly and eat it quickly.
- You can drizzle a little olive oil in the drained pasta to prevent sticking.

- MEASURE THE PASTA. How much pasta should you cook per person? If you have a kitchen scale, weigh out the uncooked pasta first. Measure out about 100 to 125 grams (3 ½ to 4 ½ ounces) per person if serving it as a main course and 75 grams (about 2 ½ ounces) per person if serving it as a first course with more dishes to follow.
- BOIL THE WATER. How much water should you use? Use about 4 quarts of water for every 1 pound of pasta. In general, the more pasta you are cooking, the more water you should use to prevent the pasta from clumping up too much in the pot.
- SALT THE WATER. When should you salt the water? We recommend salting the water after it has started to boil and just before you are about to add the pasta.
- COOK UNTIL AL DENTE. Should you cover the pasta when cooking it? It’s okay to put a lid on the pot while you are waiting for the water to boil. However, after it starts to boil and you add the pasta to the water, you should remove the lid to prevent the water from bubbling over.
- DRAIN THE PASTA. Should you use a slotted spoon or a strainer? If you are serving the pasta warm with a sauce, simply use a slotted spoon to remove the pasta from the boiling water and add it directly to the pan with the sauce.
