Pasta
Dry pasta
Dry pasta swells when it is cooked and needs to be cooked in liquid. The liquid
must cover the pasta. Using hot liquid gives better results.
Increase the cooking time stated by the manufacturer by approx. ¹/₃.
Fresh food
Fresh pasta, such as the kind you can buy from the supermarket chilled counter,
does not need to absorb water. Cook fresh pasta in a greased perforated con-
tainer.
Separate any pieces of pasta which have stuck together and spread them out in
the cooking container.
