How it works

  1. 1Dry pasta = 3 × 100 = 300 g
  2. 2Cooked weight ≈ 2.5× dry = 300 × 2.5 = 750 g
  3. 3Water: 1 L per 100 g = 3 L
One serving of dry pasta is 80-100 g (70 for light eaters, up to 120 for athletes), and it gains ~2.5× in weight when cooked. Use plenty of water - 1 L per 100 g of dry pasta so noodles can tumble freely; salt the boiling water at 5-10 g per litre (~1%). Stir along the pot wall for the first 30 seconds, keep the heat high and the lid off, and pull the pasta 1-2 minutes before the package time leaving a pinprick of white at the core for perfect al dente.
