This is crazy. I cook my pasta for 9 minutes max. Often 8. Because by the time you’ve taken it off the stove, drained it and added it to your sauce any longer and it will be mush.
But this guy is starting at 9 minutes. I worry for American food.
I find it highly depends on the maker of the pasta, and the variety in use. 9 minutes followed by immediately serving is actually quite conservative for some brands. It also depends on the cooking method and how long you intend to finish them in the sauce (or just cook them in the sauce - heresy, I know, but it fucking works).
> I worry for American food.
Gastronomic bigotry helps nobody, and just paints you as a dick. Hold off on it for your own sake.
Oh dear. I think you’ve taken a frivolous comment rather too seriously. Calling people “a dick” online is a self fulling prophecy. Sorry if my gastronomic bigotry upset you.
