Perfect al dente spaghetti can sometimes be a fuss, especially when we’re doing a million things at the same time. If you want guaranteed al dente pasta, try this hack.
This tip from the cupcakeproject on TikTok shows that set-it-and-forget-it is the way to cook your pasta. First, start by bringing a pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Take the pasta and drop it in the pot, stirring to prevent the pasta from clumping.
Next, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and set a timer for the directions written on the box.
After the set time, drain the pasta, and it’s ready to use in a recipe or serve. This tip saves on using excess gas on the stove and guarantees al dente every time.
