AL DENTE PASTA: Getting pasta just right isn't hard, but you do need
good quality dried pasta. Cheaper versions are made with inferior flour
and just go soggy. Allow 75–100g (3–4oz) pasta per person. Bring a
large pan of water (at least 3 liters/5 pints) up to the boil with 1
tbsp salt. When it's up to a rolling boil, add the pasta, cover
briefly, give it a stir, then leave until it is still firm to the bite
– check the pack instructions for timings. Drain immediately when ready.
