BEFORE COOKING:

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

COOKING:

Place the macaroni pasta into boiling salted water (1 liter of water for every 100g of pasta, 1 teaspoon of salt per 2 liters of water). Stir immediately to prevent the pasta from sticking to the sides of the pot. Depending on the manufacturer, the cooking time for macaroni ranges between 8 and 12 minutes. Start timing once the water returns to a boil. Stir every 3–4 minutes. Do not cover the pot. Taste to check if the pasta is al dente – it should be tender yet firm.

AFTER COOKING:

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

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve with your favorite sauce and drizzle with olive oil to taste. Macaroni pasta is an excellent ingredient for broth.

Enjoy your meal!
