Advice

The ideal ratio for cooking pasta is: 1 liter of water, 100 g of pasta, and 7 grams of salt. This amount of water ensures excellent cooking consistency and prevents the pasta from sticking together during boiling. Italians swear by pasta cooked "al dente," which means it should still be firm when bitten. The easiest way to check if the pasta is properly cooked is to taste it or break it. Properly cooked pasta will have a slightly darker dot in the center. If the dot is still white, the pasta is not yet fully cooked.
