Gear & Ingredients to Prep First
Grab a 6–8 quart pot — pasta needs room to move. Fill with 4–6 quarts of cold water for 1 pound of dried pasta. Measure 1–3 tablespoons of kosher or table salt — non-negotiable, it seasons the pasta from the inside. Have a heat-proof spoon or pasta fork ready for stirring. Set a colander in the sink before you start. Keep a heatproof measuring cup nearby to scoop 1–2 cups of starchy cooking water before draining — you'll want it for finishing sauces.

如何煮沸意大利面
- 用冷水装满一个大锅，在高温上煮沸。不要过早添加意大利面。
- 沸腾后加入盐——水应该尝起来像调味很好的肉汤。搅拌以溶解。
- 一次性添加干意大利面。对于长面条，当它们软化时按它们，而不是折断它们。立即搅拌。
- 保持高热以保持快速沸腾。每1-2分钟搅拌一次，特别是早期，以防止粘合。
- 在包装时间的下限前约1分钟开始品尝——通常在7-8分钟左右。干意大利面的总时间通常为8-14分钟，具体取决于形状和品牌。
- 咬一块来测试：从头到尾很柔软，中心处轻微硬度是最佳烹饪度。粉笔状的白线意味着需要更多时间；没有阻力意味着过度烹饪。
- 对于烤盘菜肴，拉出意大利面有点早——它在烤箱中进一步烹饪。对于在酱汁中完成，在你的目标熟度前约1分钟拉出。
- 在沥干之前，舀出至少1杯含淀粉的烹饪水并放在一边。然后通过漏勺立即沥干。

排干、酱汁并避免常见错误
排干后不要冲洗意大利面——它冲洗掉帮助酱汁粘合的淀粉。如果不立即酱汁，用一点橄榄油漂洗炻以防止结块。 对于温暖酱汁：将排干的意大利面直接添加到在低到中热量上的锅中，炻以组合，并使用保留的意大利面水一点一点地松散并粘合酱汁。 对于意大利面沙拉：烹饪至完全熟度，排干，用橄榄油炻，当温暖时，冷却到室温，然后冷藏。 避免这些错误：在水达到完全沸腾之前开始，跳过盐，挤满锅，并在前几分钟不搅拌。
