Today I learned that Barilla created Spotify playlists that are the length of time needed to cook pasta to al dente (open.spotify.com)

Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

everyone's obsessing over pasta too much. take a fork and taste one, there's no universal amount of time

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago (2 children)

True, and you are probably not putting anywhere near enough salt to the water.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

God damn, I already take my salt can and just pour it in for a few seconds. You trying for higher blood pressure?

And do not rinse it people. toss in oil and lay it flat to dry if need be. it'll drink up your water and be soggy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It was just soaking in boiling water for 7-9 minutes, but 1 second of cooler water with a quick toss is going to make it soggy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

I promise you yes. Chefs will throw out pasta that has been rinsed, I've seen them do it.

Oil and air dry is the way to go

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Genuinely yes. When you take them out of the hot water, they're still hot and dry a bit due to steam escaping.
