Get about
250 grams of pasta (half a 500g pack - regular supermarket size).
|
| 2 |
Boil up
about three inches of water in a bigish saucepan (add a little
salt to the water). |
| 3 |
While the
water is boiling chuck in the pasta. Gve it a quick stir to
make sure it doesn't stick to the pan or itself. |
| 4 |
Bring this
back to the boil again and then turn down to simmer. Don't cover
the pan. |
| 5 |
Check it
every few minutes with a quick stir with your wooden spoon.
|
| 6 |
After 10
mins it should be nearly cooked but after 12-13 mins it should
be ready. |
| 7 |
You can
test it by taking out one piece and cutting it with the edge
of a fork. If it cuts through then the pasta is ready. |
| 8 |
Simply
tip the contents of your saucepan into a colander or sieve and
leave for 2 mins to drain. |
| 9 |
You can
use a little olive oil to stir in with the pasta to stop it
sticking but if you don't over cook it you should be OK without
the oil. Low fat diets - no oil. |
