Tips on how to cook pasta properly ?

To initiate the first post on this blog, I will share about how to cook good pasta, this way I get out of my cooking teacher, hopefully there is benefit for all.

pasta meal is usually sold direstoran or certain places in the house dining options, there are times when we want to try to cook it at home, sometimes we want to try spaghetti, penne, macaroni fetucine or our own making.

according to what I've noticed over in the kitchen, it turns out there are certain techniques are done when cooking, cooking skills in this process needs to be owned, because the cook is not a good way to change the taste as it should have happened
Well let me share with a simple summary, which I think is the easiest way to do:

1. Heat water on the stove using a frying pan or a tool and has

2. Put salt, butter or margarine or cooking oil

3. after the water looks hot and steaming, put the pasta you want to cook, whether it's spaghetti, fettucine or penne pasta are other types, depending on your taste

4. The most appropriate time for cooking pasta is 8 minutes - 10 minutes

5. make sure the pasta in aldente condition (not mushy nor hard, or in other words should be half-cooked pasta)

6. strain the pasta is already cooked then drain, sprinkle on top of ice cubes and cooking oil (in that way to quickly cool the pasta and the color becomes pale

7 Now you are free to continue with the pasta, whatever you want to be juxtaposed with any seasoning.

and one more tips to check whether you cook the pasta has been cooked or not?
is by throwing a piece of spaghetti or penne to the top of the ceiling of your house, if it does not stick to the pasta the way you mean still not as expected, and if true - really stick in internit home, meaning your past ripe. :)
 
but I think it would pollute the walls of your roof, most feel it is good to start tasting the pasta now.
