Why does it take so long to boil pasta?
There are basically two reasons for boiling (simmering) homemade pasta sauce for an hour. The longer the sauce cooks, the thicker it will be. Also, simmering for longer periods of time will allow the flavors to "marry," creating a better tasting sauce. Many recipes specify simmering pasta sauces for even longer; two hours or more.
Which cooks faster pasta or spaghetti?
Fresh homemade pasta cooks the fastest as it does not need to be re-hydrated as part of the cooking process. As for dry pasta, the thinner and lighter the pasta the faster it will cook. Typically a thin egg noodle or a thin spaghetti will cook faster than a thick tube shape. Also whole wheat flour pastas tend to take longer than traditional flour. Traditional flour is already broken down in processing, the whole grain in whole wheat takes longer to be penetrated by the water. There are many different kinds of pasta made from many different ingredients, but it's pretty simple to figure out that the thinner the pasta, the faster the water will penetrate and soak through to cook it.
