How to cook pasta “ al dende”

Usually in boiling salted water until tender.

Italians call this "al dende", tender but not completely cooked.

Allow lots of water, about 4 liters per 500gr pasta.

Pasta should move around into a large pot with heavy bottom in order to cook evenly.  

Do not add oil to the water.

Oil coats the pasta, which eventually challenges the sauce that tries to penetrate and coat the pasta.   

The minute the pasta is cooked, drain it. Rinse only if it's important to cool down the pasta or to remove extra starch, for pasta salads.

Immediately toss it with some kind of sauce, salad dressing, butter, olive oil anything to keep the pasta from sticking together.
