You can steam fresh pasta (just made, in dough form) or cooked pasta to reheat it. But trying to steam dry, hard pasta will leave you with a lumpy, gluey mass. We do this all the time, but on a commercial basis. We have a couple of large, industrial (restaurant) size steamers that accept "shipout" pans. We put as much pasta as needed into a pan, add water to just cover, steam it for seven minutes, stir the noodles, steam it for another seven minutes, remove it, add a drizzle of oil (typically EVOO) and strain off the water thru a colander. Perfectly al dente!

∙ 13y agoPut water in a pot on the stove. Wait until it boils, then add the noodles. Keep the stove at about medium and stir occasionally. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes depending on how firm you want them to be. Add a little salt to add flavor. When it is done cooking, pour the pot with the noodles and water into a strainer over the sink to let the water out. Put the noodles back in the pot or on a plate or bowl, and put a little piece of butter in it to add flavor.
