Dry Pasta
Cultural Context
Originating from Italy, dry pasta is a staple food that has been enjoyed for centuries. Traditionally made from durum wheat semolina, it is versatile and can be paired with a variety of sauces, meats, and vegetables. In modern cuisine, dry pasta is beloved worldwide, with countless shapes and sizes to suit every dish.
Fill an 8-quart stock pot with water, about 3/4 full.
Season the water aggressively with 2 teaspoons of salt.
Bring the water to a rapid boil.
Add dried penne pasta to the boiling water.
Cover the pot about 3/4 of the way to prevent boiling over.
Cook the pasta for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the pasta for al dente texture by biting into it.
Once done, drain the pasta using a colander.
