Lasagne sheets or cannelloni tubes are made to be baked instead of boiled so make sure that the sauce you are layering or stuffing them with isn’t too dry as they will need to absorb some liquid as they bake.If the sauce you want to use is too thick, reserve a little of the pasta water to thin it down with. Once the pasta is cooked you need to take it out of the water and allow it to steam dry for a minute or two before mixing it with any sauce or dressing.Shorter, thicker pasta shapes like bows or penne take 10-12mins and fresh pasta such as ravioli and tortellini will be done between 3-5mins. Most dried ribbons of pasta such as linguine, spaghetti and tagliatelle take between 8-10 mins.If it’s ready take the pasta off the heat straight away, if not give it another minute then test again. After about 8 mins of boiling carefully fish a piece or strand of pasta out of the pan, allow it to cool and taste it.If you like, or the recipe suggests, salt the water first, or if you prefer, add a splash of olive oil. Bring the pan of water to the boil then add your pasta.Make sure there’s still enough room at the top because you don’t want the water to bubble up and overflow. Use a large, high sided saucepan and add at least 500ml, or up to 1 litre of water per 100g dried pasta (depending on the capacity of your pan). The first step is to make sure you have plenty of water in your pan.Season with salt, pepper and a finely grated hard cheese like parmesan. Mix really well to coat and allow some of the sauce or dressing to be absorbed into the pasta. Return to a boil (now boil uncovered), stirring occasionally for.
Add salt, oil (optional), and pasta to boiling water, stir gently. Take a wide pot, add water, cover the pot with the lid and bring to roiling boil. Then add pasta sauce, pesto or simply a good drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Step 1 Ingredients required - for 4 cups penne pasta, 12 cups of water, 4 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoons oil. Drain and leave to steam dry for a few mins, just until the surface of the pasta looks matte. Once boiling add the pasta and cook for 8-12 mins, depending on the shape – see above. Boil the water (with salt and/or olive oil) in a large pan.
