Cooking Spaghetti

April 20, 2009 By Jackie 3 Comments

I am sure that everyone who may read this post has probably cooked spaghetti before. I have cooked spaghetti many, many times. However, recently I have tried several gluten-free varieties-corn, quinoa, and rice. I haven’t been overly pleased with any of them until we tried the brand Tinkyada.

Well, on the package it gave an energy saving cooking recommendation. I tried it and it worked wonderfully. I even tried it with some regular spaghetti we still had and it worked great as well. I think it is worth a try because it can’t hurt to save energy, and I think you may like the results.

Here is what to do. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add your pasta, and return to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, cover the pot and turn off the burner. Wait 20 minutes and then drain the pasta. Easy!

One thing I do to prevent sticky pasta after it has been cooked and drained is to add a few dashes of olive oil to the pasta and stir. This is especially helpful if you have extra pasta you are going to refrigerate.

    So the water doesn’t need to be boiling for the 20 minutes? Or will it continue to boil while the cover is on? (Sorry can you tell I’m behind on reading? :o)

    The water will quit boiling but it will still be very hot. It is fun to see how much the spaghetti plumps up in the 20 minutes. Plus, you don’t have to watch it or keep stirring or anything. Very easy.

    My husband (who is a great cook) is incapable of cooking pasta right…I can't wait to show him this…I never imagined it would be so simple…
