Or do you just insist on cooking it all the time? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/al-dente-pasta#post-366719 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:32:43 +0000 rachiecakes 366719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@boiledpnut: right?

I can't stand mushy pasta. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/al-dente-pasta#post-366697 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:05:50 +0000 yoursilverlining 366697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do like pasta al dente! I usually cook the pasta for a minute or a 2 less than whatever the suggested cooking time is; add the sauce, and let it simmer together over low heat for just a couple of minutes. I think it soaks up more sauce this way (this part might just be in my head, I'm not sure!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/al-dente-pasta#post-366696 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 17:05:26 +0000 boiledpnut 366696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your DH is weird! lol! We definitely eat our pasta the real al dente. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/al-dente-pasta#post-366680 Mon, 29 Oct 2012 16:49:54 +0000 rachiecakes 366680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH says he likes pasta 'al dente' - he cooks it on very low heat (takes foreverrrrr) and serves it sticky! I do not like pasta cooked this way. At all. In fact, it's not 'al dente' : </p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_dente" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_dente</a></p> <p>I cook pasta in boiling water until soft, but still firm, not mushy. </p> <p>Do you like pasta al dente? (The right way, haha) ?? </p>
