Cooking Tagliatelle Pasta

BEFORE COOKING:

We prepare a portion of pasta, remembering that its volume doubles during cooking.

COOKING:

We add the tagliatelle pasta to boiling water (1 liter of water per 100g of pasta, 1 teaspoon of salt per 2 liters of water). Stir immediately to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pot. Depending on the manufacturer, cooking time for tagliatelle ranges from 4 to 6 minutes. Check the package for the exact cooking time. Start timing once the water returns to a boil. Stir every 2 minutes. Do not cover the pot. Taste to check if the pasta is al dente – it should be tender yet firm.

AFTER COOKING:

When the pasta is cooked, drain it quickly using a colander.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve with your favorite sauce and drizzle with olive oil to taste. Tagliatelle pairs well with sauces that include hearty chunks of various ingredients.

Enjoy your meal!
