[@kaceyvibes]

I had this idea of hydrating my pasta ahead of time years ago, for the weekly pasta bake I made for my family, and could only ever find one really old low quality video of someone else doing it. It's one of my secret weapons, when I know I'm going to be making pasta ahead of time. I can just throw it in boiling water for a couple minutes, or make the sauce and throw the hydrated pasta in, and maybe add a little of the starchy water. It's a great trick!

[@SauceStache]

You get it!!!!! You get it!!

[@SauceStache]

everyone is getting mad at this haha

[@kaceyvibes]

@@SauceStache All it is, is just rehydrating dehydrated pasta. I've done it with adding veggies broth or other flavors too, just like marinating anything else absorbent. It's a lot more time, but it's 99.99% hands off. So not a quick last minute option, but a very low effort one if you're planning ahead. I find it really useful for baked dishes, because the pasta doesn't get super mushy.

[@Nyambui]

Note the earlier part where there is 30s of prep and you walk away. If you get good at it, 60s tops of prep. It's process change. Yes, changing processes takes time, but if you figure it out, you can decrease your 10 minute investment. If you are keto, this is a moot point. If you are pasta king/queen, it is a time saver.... maybe. If you like it. The variables are off the hook with this. Fun though. That's the part I like most about this channel.

You don't leave the heat on high after you put the pasta in. You lower it to medium-high. That way it doesn't boil over.

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

I make mine a bit different. I use a single pot for the entire process. I start by browning 1 lb of meat (ground beef, ground venison, or ground pork), tossing diced onion, chopped celery, 3 crushed garlic cloves, several sliced mushroom and 2 diced jalapeños in when the meat is half cooked and finish browning the meat while cooking the veggies. I toss in Italian seasoning (basil, thyme, and oregano mix), salt, and crushed red pepper to taste immediately after the veggies are in the pot and stir. When the vegetables are partially cooked, I break a 1 lb package in half to shorten the noodles and toss them in the pan and immediately add enough warm water to cover the noodles by about half an inch and bring it to a boil, stirring occasionally until it begins boiling and frequently while it is boiling. When most of the water is absorbed/evaporated, I add a small can of tomato paste and stir until it is equally dispersed, then I add a can of petite diced tomatoes and stir while heating it through. Continue heating until you have reached the desired consistency. This method keeps all the liquid gold in the pot the whole time which acts as an emulsifier that thickens and stabilizes the sauce and there are fewer dishes to wash.

[@bethbb9736]

Thank you !

[@eyebrid]

Nice, soaking is a great technique if you think ahead! The absolute simplest pasta dish I've made was just filling a pan with almost an inch of water, some dry pasta, bouillon powder, and butter. Simmered down as the pasta softened and released the starch thickening into a delicious thick sauce, and added some pepper (it was a small portion as a snack). Add anything to that, herbs, mushrooms, veggies, making sure to add at the right time in the process.

The reason it boils over is, the size of the cooking pot. A pro kitchen ALWAYS use large pots for pasta, and I don't think, they have the time to stand around, looking at a pot.

[@sceplecture2382]

A lot of kitchens cook their pasta before hand.

[@miriamrobarts]

It also helps to bring the water to a boil, add the pasta & give it a stir, let it come back to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer.

Lmao I'd you're standing around a pot waiting for noodles to boil you're doing it wrong. You stir a few times in the span of like 10 minutes max, big whoop.

Also, the boiling over has to do with the heat being too high. High heat makes the starch foam up and it builds up untill it overflows. Lower the heat a bit and you will see you can control it.

[@blackrosenuk]

I've done this lots. (I did it out of necessity when I was in college because it was hard to boil pasta in my dorm room), but I was never a fan pf this method using pasta. The texture of soak vs boil is different, imo. With noodles, though, like ramen or udon or soba, this is still my preferred method. I make ramen noodles a lot (not in a broth), and I just soak them for a bit before adding them to whatever sauce I have going. I sometimes dont even add a sauce; I just sprinkle them with garlic salt and nutritional yeast. If you've never tried a ramen frittata, I highly recommend making it (using just egg). You just soak the ramen; meanwhile, get some oil, garlic, ginger and onion (etc) going on the stove in a large fry pan. Drain the ramen when it's soft (I think it's usually 10-20 minutes) & then add it to the pan. Let it fry up and crisp some, flipping it every so often. Then, add any other spices or sauce you want and cook for a bit longer (but not so long as to burn any possible sugars in the sauce). Add the just egg (that you've already added kala namak to because, well, wth -- it doesnt taste like egg without the kn!!!!). Cook till the egg is dried, flipping at least a few times to get both sides crisp. And, you are done. I sometimes add veggies in, like peppers or mushrooms, before the egg. (It just depends on how much cooking the veggies need as to when I add them.)

[@vincemajestyk9497]

I agree. There's a difference in Ramen noodles, egg noodles, and Pasta. The starch complexity and consistency will effect the taste and dish flavor. I personally think the taste is better and worth the effort just boiling it. It's made for that.

[@lorraineclark1838]

I can't believe anybody WASTES THEIR TIME this way! I cook all of my raw pasta in a big skillet right in the sauce, no precooking of any kind. The spaghetti absorbs all the favor and if it absorbs too much water, I just add a little more until the sauce has the perfect consistency. Try this- you'll thank me later. Fry some garlic & shredded pepperoni or crumbled bacon in plenty of oil. Crack the spaghetti in half and toss it around in the hot oil. Pour a cup of water into the skillet and cover it for a few minutes. Stir it around and add diced fresh roma tomatoes (or tomato sauce) and other spices you like. Cook until the pasta is al dente, adjusting the consistency of the sauce as needed.

The EASIEST way to avoid boil-over, without using a wooden spoon, pan insert, pot watcher, boil disk, or anything is: Use a REALLY big pot. If I'm boiling a gallon of water for pasta for 2, I use a 16 quart stock pot. It's no harder to wash, and there's no way 1 gallon of water is gonna climb the sides of a 4 gallon pot.

[@penknight8532]

16 quart is a huge pot!!

[@lisetteem588]

youre a chef? ive never owned anyhting over 5lt which is what youre supposed to use and it doesnt boil over unless you leave it unattended....

[@franklinbadge1215]

Why are you boiling a gallon of water for 2 servings of pasta? If you use less water, the starch will be more concentrated and it can be used in the sauce.

Don’t forget to use a 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda to neutralize the acid in your tomatoes. It leaves a subtle sweet tomato flavor. My dad taught us this as kids. I don’t like over cooked pasta, I always cut 3-4 minutes of my pasta that I’m adding sauce to it. It’s perfect pasta every time. ❤

I bring my pot of water to a boil then put the pasta in, and stir it and wait for it to come back to a boil. Set the timer for 12 or 13 minutes. Turn the heat off and move the pot off the burner. It comes out great every time.

I have never boiled pasta, I just add it to the sauce. It absorbs enough water to be like it should be.

[@leetrask6042]

When I do pasta, I heat the water to boiling, throw in the pasta in, let the water come back up to boiling along with some stirring to keep the pasta from sticking together. Then you turn the water down to a simmer and cook until properly tender. Once you do the first two steps there is no need to have a rolling boil.

[@Darapsa]

This is how to cook pasta. Thank you!

[@mpitt79]

Pro tip: you don't even need to keep it at a simmer. Once it's back up to boiling you can put a lid on it and turn off the heat. The remaining heat in the water is enough to cook the pasta, it might take a minute longer than stated on the box but otherwise it's perfectly fine.

I’ll be trying this. I have some physical limitations that make it dangerous to try and lift a pan of boiling water and move it to a sink to drain. I won’t have to worry about spilling water on me (since it’s cold) when draining and rinsing the pasta.

[@aleksandra...]

Yes! that too! I don't get the hate and snark in the comments... if someone doesn't share the problem he's trying to solve with this - it's not for them! Some of us are disabled in one way or another - for me it's standing up in general (POTS) - and this is one of the possible ways to avoid some of it. I used to microwave boil pasta (doesn't need large quantity of water, little to no foam, timer/quantities works perfect every time) but my microwave plate broke and back to regular is... exhausting (husband is usually preparing _standing by the stove_ food for the most part, anyway, but having additional option if I need to do it is always great)

[@EmmaKnightleyNo1]

There's a video on YT for spaghetti in a pan - starts with cold water, just enough so the pasta gets done while cooking, with a little rest of starchy water to do the sauce in the pan. Saves water, energy, time, and a pot. And works. No-one believes me, their problem 😎.

You don't have to lift anything. Just use metal tongs to move pasta to the pan. Then let the pasta water in the pot cool down. I usually don't dump the water in the sink. I water my plants with it. Water is extremely precious, so I try not waste it as much as I can!

[@6079.Smith.W]

Not sure why.But a proven way to prevent boil over is put a wooden spoon over the top of the pan

[@rizkytaufik792]

The issue with the boiled pasta + sauce is that you didn't add the starchy water from cooking the pasta itself. As you explained, the non-boiled pasta released the starch into the sauce, thickened it and allowed it to leather the then cooked pasta with the sauce - Clear as day. As to the easiness of not needing to check your pasta during cooking/boiling plus getting the thickening/leathering effect of the sauce, then your method is a good one.

Ah, hello - this is how most italian restaraunts do it. You think they boil the pasta for 9 or 12 min AFTER you order it?

No, just a 30-45 sec dip in boiling water. Sauce should always be applied separately, pasta should never be cooked in sauce.

My ninety-something year old, Italy born nonna has done this for eight decades. There are advantages - uniform texture, salt fully penetrates the pasta, one gets starch into the sauce without diluting it with pasta water. Takes some pre-planning for the soak, but that is hands off time and can be done in advance. Hydrate, quick rinse to remove surface starch, and it's good for a couple days in the fridge.

[@slickdaddy880]

If you just add pasta water after boiling youll get the same thickness of the sauce from the starch in the water and the water itself will just steam away.

But that did mean I didn't have the chance to learn how to cook either. I didn't learn to cook until after I was an adult. KZbin was a big help recently as well, at furthering my cooking skills. Learning new things to cook that wasn't simply just from a box! 🤭 My fiance loves it when I changed how I cooked it so that the noodles cook in the pasta sauce (and a bit of water). The flavor absorbs into the noodles, and the sauce coats the noodle a lot better, as well. I figured there were so many dishes that we cooked, where the pasta isn't cooked separately. Why must we cook the spaghetti noodles separate? 🤷‍♀️ Plus, it's an easy one-pot clean-up! Win-Win! 🥰😁

Ever since the 70s energy crisis I dump the pasta in the cold water and heat it to boiling then turn off heat and cover for about 9 minutes (depending on the pasta shape). It comes out perfect every time and saves a lot of energy. Also not boiling the pasta seems to make the timing less critical. Occasionally I forget, and get to the pasta a few minutes late and the pasta is OK. Not perfect, but not soup like boiling would do. Im not sure I would be able to plan ahead 2 hours to soak the noodles as in your method, but adding the noodles to the sauce to enhance the coating seems worthwhile.
