Straining the Fettuccine out of the Pan For Fettucine Alfredo
Okay this is Chef Dominic again with Expert Village where the experts always give you advice. Anyways, our pasta is actually done so I am going to go ahead and take the pasta and going to strain it in our pasta strainer. We are going to put the pasta in here. Lots of steam. Feel like Hawaii. So we are going to run a little bit of cold water on the pasta. This will actually help increase the chances of the pasta not sticking. So as you are running cold water on the pasta, mix up the pasta a little bit. You will notice none of the pasta sticks. That is why we put the oil in the water. See none of this pasta is sticky. It is all separate. So by doing the cold water on here, it rinses off the starch of the pasta so that the pasta does not stick together. You put the oil in the water so that the pasta does not stick and then you put cold water and you rinse the pasta and you are rinsing the starch off of the pasta so the pasta does not stick again. In the next segment we will actually add the pasta to the sauce. We are almost there to eat.
