Pasta Tips

7/19/2016

​     We've been cooking pasta for 35 years here at Kajun Kettle.
     Let us fill you in on some "pasta science" to bring into your kitchen.
  • Freezing fresh pasta beforehand can actually help the pasta cook better. The pasta holds its shape, and its flavor.
  • Only add salt once the water is boiling. Adding salt before a boil will increase the time it takes for the water to heat up.
  • Avoid putting pasta in a pot that isn’t boiling. It will save you from having to consume gooey noodles.
  • When it comes to boiling water, lower the flame so the bubbles are small. Delicate pastas like ravioli will come apart when exposed to a rolling boil.
  • The ideal pot size for pasta is between 6 and 8 quarts
  • Do not rinse the pasta unless you are planning to serve it cold. To avoid sticking, just stir in a cup of sauce.
  • When finishing a pasta with a butter sauce, use cold butter for a better emulsion.
