I make the dough, put it through the pasta machine and dunk it in the boiling water until it's just perfect then I toss it in nonna's homemade red sauce that she learned to make from Rachel ray

>>13032901
I break my fusilli in half so that it fits into my pot.

>>13032901
Who the fuck ruins a perfectly good pasta by breaking it?

>>13032959
Children

>>13032954
You are one of the fusilli people who do that.

>>13032918
Based and mommypi

Al dente

>>13032959
this.
Use a bigger pot, you dumbass
Or you could wait like 30 seconds for the pasta to soft so you can fold it.

>>13032913
In room temperature semen. im transexual,nor sure if it matters

I boil it in stock that matches the dish it's going in. Chicken stock if I'm using chicken as an example.
The trick is to use stock that has MSG, it makes everything taste so much better.

like one of my animes

How does she get out without breaking all the pasta?

>>13032901
The question should be:
how do you cook your pasta salad?!
i'm on a diet and i'm waiting for the pot to cook, whilst i'm taking a shit. pls respond.

also to answer OP: in boiling water with salt, i always do what the direction tells me to, but most definitely never dente (what is dente supposed to be?) because i'm scared to fuck it up. I hate slimy overcooked shit too btw.

Cook it before dent

>>13032901
Flour, egg, roll, cut, drop in boiling water for 30 seconds.

>pasta salad
The one good reason to actually rinse your pasta. But not knowing the ingredients you are planning to use, that's all the help I can provide.

>kettle on
>pasta in
>salt in (generous)
>boiling water in
>turn heat to absolute maximum, reduce when its starts foaming violently
>stir and test firmness often
>remove pasta as soon as al dente

She was making soup.

just boil that shit and stick it in for 8 minutes

>>13032901

I make my own.

8 minutes would murder real pasta. 45 seconds at most.

Never use Semolina.

Homemade Pasta Recipe

Yield: 1 1/4 lbs dough
Prep Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients:
• 3 1/2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour, sifted (plus extra flour for preparing)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs, beaten
• 2 Tablespoons water
Directions:
1. Place eggs, water, flour and salt in mixer bowl. Attached bowl and flat beater. Turn to speed 2 and mix for 30 to 60 seconds. Add more water if the dough is too dry, in 1/2 Tablespoon increments.
2. Change out the flat beater for the dough hook. Turn to speed 2 and knead for 2 minutes. Remove the dough and knead by hand for 2 minutes. Let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes.
3. Cut dough into four pieces before processing with pasta sheet attachment. Take one piece and flatten into a rectangular shape. Adding flour to both sides. Be sure to cover the other pieces. Attach the pasta sheet roller to your stand mixer and set it to #1. Turn on the stand mixer to speed 2 and run the pasta dough through the pasta sheet roller. While on #1, fold the dough in half and run it through again. I do this several times.
4. Adding a little bit of flour on each side of the dough again, change setting to #2 and pass the pasta dough through the sheet roller. I do this twice and then twice each on #3 and then #4. If you want thicker dough, don't do the #4 setting.
5. Once again, add flour to each side of your long pasta sheet. Change the attachment to your spaghetti or fettuccine cutter and turn on to speed 2. Run the pasta sheet through and with your left hand, hold on to the pasta as it comes through the cutter. It's usually really long so I cut it and then wind it around my hand to create a nest. Allow pasta to dry for a few minutes before boiling.
6. When boiling your pasta, it only needs 3 to 7 minutes to boil.
7. With this pasta recipe, I prefer the fettuccine cutter.
Notes:
If drying your pasta, hang on clean plastic clothes hangers or a pasta drying rack for at least an hour.

Forgot that you people are gobsmacked with recipes and cooking. GO HOME.

>Never use Semolina.
There are more than one type of pasta. One is made with eggs, the other with semola.

Don't try to teach people to make pasta if you, yourself, don't know much about it.

>he doesn't preboil another batch in a separate pot

>>13034192
Usually I just freeze some boiled water beforehand and warm it up in the microwave

Basically like this since running across this video.

Pray tell, how on earth does breaking pasta in half ruin it?

>>13034565
based

>>13032901
I cook it how everyone tells me: All-Dented

I have to give it to the hammer a few times, but it gets there eventually.

>>13034192
I said

>kettle on

I boil it in the kettle!!! Much faster than bringing cold tap water to the boil using the hob. The results are no different.

I once made pasta with milk and felt like shit when I realized that I had to throw away so many milks.
