Default Cooking pasta without draining the water

Hello All:

I looked in the archives of this newsgroup but could not find any
discussions on this.

A friend of mine says that there is an alternate way of cooking pasta:

- Put enough water in a pot. Add pasta and salt.
- Bring the mix to a boil.
- Then simmer until water is gone.

The process is much like cooking rice.

He could not give me the amount of water needed off hand, but
suggested that I start with a 1 to 1 ratio.

He operates an Italian restaurant so I assume he knows what he is
saying.

Has anybody else run into cooking pasta this way?

Deguza

How stupid I was to be chatting to a guest while cooking and carelessly deposit a heaped teaspoon of salt into the sauce instead of the 10 litres of simmering water, awaiting its pasta. Peter General Cooking 15 01-11-2005 05:29 AM
