Good Morning! And welcome to The Simple Chef show with your hosts Tawnya Meyers and Peter Peroni. Today we are going to teach you how to make pasta perfectly.
That's right, Tawnya. Pasta is not only the most popular food in Italy, but around the world and yet so many people either overcook it or undercook it.
But today we're going to show you how to cook your pasta al dente.
First I want you to fill up your pot with water and add a tablespoon of olive oil to keep the pasta from sticking together. Also, make sure you add a pinch of salt to season the pasta and bring the water to a boil.
When the water reaches a boil, you can add your pasta. Today we're using a nice spaghetti pasta.
Put the pasta into the pot and watch it soften. Once it has softened, gently turn it around and let it come back up to a boil.
Try to time it if you need to. You should test the pasta after about 5 minutes. Just take a small strand and have a little bite.
It should be nice and firm inside, but not crunchy.
If it isn't ready, give it a little more time and try again.
When you have your perfect al dente pasta, drain it in a colander and add your sauce.
Today we are just going to make a very simple pasta.
Yes, we are just going to season with salt and pepper and then add a little olive oil and Parmesan cheese.
Well, Peter, this is just delicious.
Isn't it, Tawnya?
Join us tomorrow when we teach you how to pan fry halibut.
