I know how to boil pasta but trust me, there is an art to making the perfect al-dente pasta! I am 62 years old and consider myself a pretty good cook. But the one thing I have never quite gotten right is getting my spaghetti to be al dente. I make awesome homemade spaghetti sauce. Then, I always end up so frustrated that my spaghetti noodles end up being closer to mushy than al dente! 😡 That's exactly why I am watching TH-cam videos on how to boil pasta. Lmao.
@twohassles43 Thank you for your comment. You are right! Making a really good al-dente is difficult and that's actually a video we should look into! That's awesome you make your own sauce. Something we don't do but is so cool. Maybe we will look into an al-dente vid!
You don't have to add oil, however it keeps the pasta from sticking together. We use Olive Oil since it is healthier. If you don't add oil the pasta has a change of getting stuck together and hard to take out and plate. I really hope you try this out and keep checking our cooking out. We really try to help others out! Keep cooking!
I'm trying to make some spaghetti and I'm looking up how to boil them and for how long and everything I found had so many varieties while im here just trying to boil the damn noodles...... so thanks for the short video
Hello Deanokrl, I add my pasta after the water stars boiling. If you are using a smaller pot putting long pasta in boiling water softens the pasta faster so you can get it in.
My mom and grandparents are great cooks but I’m not and my mom wants me to start making dinner for myself because she said I’m lazy😒 which is not true I do more than anyone in the house and I wanna learn how to make some good dishes I was about to cook some pasta but I just wanted to make sure what I’m doing is right.
Thank you for watching and sharing! I'm sure your a better cook than you let on! This video is really only good for electric stoves however. I hope you watch other videos and learn more! We love to teach.
I knew I Had a Issue When I Asked My Child To Be Honest, 'How's My Cooking'? He said, 'It Suks'! 😆 I always cook Pasta With The Cover On, & it Always Stuck Together. Finally I Cooked It With The Top Off & it didn't Stick Together,, I Think Cuz The Starch Evaporates. Your Welcome? 🤔
You know your so right, we figured thay out to. I feel it's because the electric stove stays hot and a gas stove can cool down faster due to the surface. Sould I redo this vid?
@@englishwithaltini Great Question Altini and I'm sorry I never addressed this. It would be more. Gas stoves cool down faster based on the fact there burners have more air flow. Electric flat tops stay hotter. If you use a gas stove I would recommend keeping the flame on low. For 7 minutes after the boil. I hope this helps. However always just test how soft your pasta is too!
@@TheCookingCorner np... - I also wash my pasta with fresh cold tap water, just enough to get the sticky stuff off the pasta, then back in the warm pot and turn with butter or oil. This will prevent them from sticking together without the sauce, and adds taste :) Velbekommen
Think about it like this . When you put the strainer right Ontop of the drain , the water will push back up again a little bit onto the pasta because the drainage hole is small . Now imagine you put the strainer onto another clean plate or something and then drained the pasta . That way you’ll avoid the splash back from the drain . If that make sense 🫡🙏🏼
@kozukioden8872 It does, yes. My 1st reply was only being silly too. My strainer does have a lip on the bottom of it, so it's not flush with whatever is sitting on. It's off the ground. Idk if that helps, but I do understand, and you make a good point. Usually, I like to hold the strainer in one hand and the pot in the other. So it's higher up in the sink. However, some pots are hard to do that with with. Especially with hot water. I do like your tip! Thanks for the comment and good advice, and thanks for watching!

nice video
uma madeti's kitchen thank you!
Great video
Thank you!
I'm a beginner and this was helpful. I have a gas stove, though.
That's OK! I would keep the gas on low after the water boils. Then monitor it for 7 minutes or so.
how much pasta do we use? (For 8 people)
Good question! You want to typically ise 2 ounces per person. I would use a pound maybe more depending on your guest
@@TheCookingCorner Thank you, but 8/1 of the people coming over has a very big appetite, very big.
@@josephseb9800 you can do 2-3 lbs. Left overs are better than not having enough!

@@TheCookingCorner Of course it is meant to be a positive comment.
@@floridian2023 lol that was what i figured! Thanks Lawrence!
Water must keep boiling also when you set the pasta in it, just lower the fire...chef!
You know your so right, we figured thay out to. I feel it's because the electric stove stays hot and a gas stove can cool down faster due to the surface. Sould I redo this vid?
soooo why the seven minutes part
Thats just the amount of time before the pasta is over ir under cooked. This is for an electric stove however not s gas stove.
@@TheCookingCorner would it be less time on a gas stove?

Adding some pasta-water to the sauce makes it stick to the pasta. Same with potatoes..

Why drain it right into the sink 🤢
@kozukioden8872 Where should we drain the pasta? Outside?
Think about it like this .
When you put the strainer right Ontop of the drain , the water will push back up again a little bit onto the pasta because the drainage hole is small .
Now imagine you put the strainer onto another clean plate or something and then drained the pasta .
