Properly cooked pasta is al dente (al DEN tay - Italian for "to the tooth"), tender yet still slightly chewy and resilient. This is a particular challenge when making pasta for prepared foods and food service environments, which is why so many companies come to Zerega for their pasta. To cook pasta on the stove top...
1. Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add salt to taste.
2. Add pasta to boiling water and stir.
3. Return water to a boil. Exact cooking time depends on the pasta shape. Follow package directions but begin testing your pasta several minutes before "official" time recommends.
4. Remove from heat and drain pasta.
