salt or add herbs and butter.
Remark: the rice may not have absorbed all water after the
cooking time is finished.
Pasta :
Use a large glass pyrex bowl. Add boiling water, a pinch of
salt and stir well. Cook uncovered.
Stir occasionally during and after cooking. Cover during

get the result you prefer. Stir once during and once after cooking. Add salt,
