Creamy, saucy or simply tossed in olive oil, how do you like your pasta? We like it with a bit of meat. A bowl of pasta definitely makes for a satisfying meal on a busy weeknight. Throw in some chunks of chicken and get your protein fix.
In their book, Ideas in Food, Alex Talbot and Aki Kamozawa suggest roasting your pasta before cooking to enhance the flavour. This gives it an unusual smoky and nutty flavour. Toast the pasta in an oven for about 10 minutes at 175 degrees for best results. You can cook it after or place it in the fridge with water to hydrate for a couple of hours. Roasted pasta may take longer to cook. Pair it with a simple sauce to enjoy the toasty flavour.

How To Cook Pasta: Common Mistakes To Avoid | Tips And Tricks To Cook Pasta
- Using a small pot for cooking pasta:
If the pot is not large enough, the water temperature tends to fall when you add the pasta. While it reaches the boiling point again, the pasta may get mushy and sticky siting in water for longer. Also, use enough water.
- No salt means no flavour:
The purpose of salting is that it forms a coating around the pasta and prevents it from getting slimy. Salt also helps in seasoning. Add it to water after you bring it to a boil.
- Adding the pasta too soon:
Yes, we understand you’re in a hurry to dig in but wait up till the water boils. Adding pasta to the water before it boils will make it gummy and overcooked.
- You forget to stir:
You could solve the problem of the pasta sticking to each other by stirring continuously. Most people add oil but this makes the pasta too slippery to be able to stick to the sauce.
- Rinsing after cooking
: By doing this, you are washing away the starch that helps pasta cling to the sauce and also the wonderful flavour.
