Sometimes housewives encounter the problem that pasta sticks together during cooking.
But there are a few simple tricks that will help you avoid this.
Chef Yulia Arkhipova told how to cook pasta correctly so that it does not stick together.
Use oil
To prevent the pasta from sticking together, add vegetable oil to the water during the cooking process.
Just a few teaspoons will be enough. Once the water boils, you will need to reduce the heat a little.
Then cook the pasta for about five minutes. The cooking time will depend on the type.
It is also important to remember that sometimes the pasta can stick together already on the plate. To avoid this, you can add a little butter to it.
Important nuances
After cooking the pasta, you can drain the liquid and place it in a colander.
Then the pasta needs to be rinsed with clean water. This will wash off any remaining starch.
It is also important to stir them periodically during cooking. In addition, it is better not to cover the pan with a lid.
If you ignore these points, instead of a crumbly dish you may end up with a stuck-together mass.
