Step cooking

When cooking spaghetti, it is important to correctly calculate the amount of water and the pasta itself. A pack of 500 g spaghetti is designed for 4 adults, so for cooking a meal for one person, you need about 125 g, which is 1/4 of the total product volume. It is better to choose pasta from durum wheat or group A.

1. Pour 1 liter of water into a small pot. It is not recommended to pour less liquid, because then the pasta will be sticky. We put the pot in water on the stove and wait until it boils. Be sure to put spaghetti in salted water. 1/2 tsp is enough for one person. table salt.
   
2. Turn the heat on to the maximum and put the spaghetti in boiling salted water. Do not break them, it is important to put the whole pasta in the pan. Since they are too long and all at once do not fit, we help by hand, laying them in a pan. After adding spaghetti to the water, they should be slightly prevented so that they do not stick to the bottom.
   
3. Cooking pasta is required at maximum heat for 7-8 minutes. After this time, catch one pasta with a fork and taste. It is important to understand that spaghetti should be slightly undercooked and remain firm. If you cook them for longer than 10 minutes, they will boil very much and stick together. After 7-8 minutes, remove the pan from the stove and drain excess water through a colander. Rinse pasta under cold water is not required.
   
4. We transfer the finished spaghetti into the pan and put it on the stove again. Turn on required medium or small fire. Re-cooking them is required in order to get rid of excess moisture. While boiling excess moisture, add butter and mix the ingredients well. About 1 piece of oil is required per person. Its quantity also depends on what you plan to serve spaghetti with. If the additive is oily, then add less oil, and, conversely, if you serve pasta with something dry, then you can add more oil.
   
5. Spaghetti are ready, put them on a plate and serve with meat or some sauce. Ready pasta turns out to be slightly undercooked, at the same time, they do not stick together and have a pleasant creamy taste. Hot spaghetti can be sprinkled with grated cheese.
