Cooking Pasta - Pasta should be cooked al dente,
or "to the tooth". This means the cooking should be
stopped when the pasta still feels firm to the bite,
not soft and mushy. The pleasure of cooking pasta
is its texture, and this is lost if it is overcooked. To
test for doneness, break pasta into small piece and
taste it. As soon as pasta is al dente, cooking must
be stopped at once. Half a minute extra is enough to
overcook it.
