How to boil pasta like a real Italian

Exercise yourself

How to boil pasta in Italian style for the hungry souls? Here's how:

Perhaps you've heard that pasta is ready if, thrown against the wall, it sticks on it. This is wrong, very wrong - say Italians and shake their heads. If the pasta sticks on the wall, it means that it's overcooked and you can trash it. On the contrary, the pasta must be al dente.

So follow these 2 simple steps:

1. Leave the pasta to boil for 1 minute less than what is indicated on the package.
For the curious:

This is so because the pasta will continue to cook in the pan with the sauce.
2. Transfer the pasta into the pan with the sauce and stir energetically for the last 1 minute.

Enjoy your meal!
