Cooking Whole Wheat Spaghetti
Or Other Pasta
|
Ingredients:
1 Pound Whole Wheat Spaghetti
1 Gallon Water
2 Tbs. Olive Oil
| |
Bring water to a boil.
Note:
Most chefs salt the water at this time. You can add the salt if you like but may also consider adding salt after the noodles are sauced.
| |
Place oil into a large bowl.
| |
Add noodles to the boiling water.
Cook spaghetti for 8 to 10 minutes.
Stir from time to time.
Taste a few noodles to check for doneness.
| |
When pasta is cooked, strain the noodles in a colander.
Do not spray with water.
You can serve the pasta at this point or follow the next steps if you would like to have the pasta cooked and ready a day or two ahead.
| |
Let pasta strain in colander for a quick minute.
Place the noodles into the bowl with oil.
Toss noodles and oil together.
Make sure to get some oil on all of the noodles.
| |
Spread hot, oiled noodles over a sheet pan.
Let noodles cool for about half an hour.
You can toss the noodles a couple of times to help them cool and this will also keep them from sticking together.
| |
When noodles are cool you can place them into a large zip-lock bag.
They will keep for a few days in the fridge.
You can microwave them as needed.
