How do you make pasta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You cook spaghetti by immersing the dry product in boiling water until it absorbs enough liquid. The pasta should be cooked for around 10 minutes, but you may want to leave it longer if you feel it's too hard. The term al dente means having a chewable consistency, rather than completely soft and limp. Adding a small amount of butter, margarine, or olive oil will prevent the starchy strands from sticking together.

Why does it take so long to boil pasta?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Will raw pasta make you sick?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Raw flour and pasta contain large quantities of lectins and phytates, generally known together as anti-nutrients. Different lectins have different effects: some damage your intestinal lining, some disrupt enzymatic pathways, some cause systemic inflammation, etc. Phytates bind with minerals such as calcium and iron to make them bio-unavailable for absorption. Because of this, if you routinely eat raw flour or raw pasta you can rapidly become mineral deficient and sick.
