If you're asking how to do it: follow the instructions on the packet, but
start testing doneness about 2 minutes before the end of the suggested
cooking time.

Whole wheat pasta is just a horror, al dente or not. Some things were
just not meant to be made with whole wheat flour, and pasta is one of
them.

I suspected this because when I tried it, just cooking it less time
than directed did NOT make it al dente. It was pasty and horrible
no matter what I did.

How can the added fiber keep the pasta from being al dente?

I am just wondering.
