Diet Quenching with cool water? Noodles can not stand that!

Did you know that pasta does not like a cold shower?

How does one actually manage that the tasty pasta does not end up as a sticky yellow lump on the plate? Should one scare noodles? Under no circumstance! Because the cold shower makes the noodles lightning fast. And she dissolves the thin starch film that lays over the pasta during cooking. The result: A slippery noodle surface on which the sauce at best moderately sticks.

What really helps against glued noodles is plenty of water in the pot - preferably one liter per 100 grams of pasta. And stir again and again. Another trick: Before pouring, scoop out some cooking water and mix the pasta immediately after draining. Alternatively, the sauce, pesto or a dash of olive oil over the noodles can be given immediately.

Speaking of sauce. It should always be ready first. Then the pasta has no time to glue and does not get cold. Dr. Christina Rempe, bzfe
