COOKING PASTA
Fresh pasta can be cooked immediately after extrusion. Bring a large pot of salted water to a
boil. Estimate a litre of water for 100 g of pasta and a tablespoon of salt for 5 litres of water.
Once the salted water has reached a boil, gently drop the fresh pasta into the pot. Gently stir
the pasta to prevent from sticking. Fresh pasta is better when cooked AL DENTE. The cooking
time depends on the shape and the thickness of the pasta but in general 2 to 3 minutes in
salted boiling water is enough. Penne pasta will take longer to cook, 4 to 5 minutes. If pasta is
not cooked, continue to check every 30 seconds until the pasta is cooked. To verify if the pasta
is cooked, take it out of the water with a utensil and taste it. When cooking is complete, strain
immediately to stop the cooking process.
STORING PASTA
If the pasta will not be eaten immediately, lightly dust with flour and separate them to ensure
they do not stick together. Let them air dry for 30 to 45 minutes. Separate into portions and put
them into an airtight container. Fresh pasta can be kept in the refrigerator for two days. Fresh
pasta can also be frozen into airtight containers for up to four weeks in the freezer. To cook
frozen pasta, put them directly into boiling water. Do not thaw the pasta at room temperature
or in the refrigerator. The humidity in the pasta will cause them to stick together. In the cooking
pot, make sure to stir the pasta to avoid clumping in the water.
