Cooking the Macaroni: Al Dente Perfection
Perfectly cooked macaroni is crucial for the best texture. Aim for “al dente” – slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked macaroni will be mushy.
Tips for Perfect Macaroni:
- Use a large pot of salted boiling water.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente (follow package directions as a guide).
- Rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool quickly.
