How to Cook Pasta From a Pasta Maker

Now the pasta has dried enough it's ready to cook. Now just because it says let the pasta dry, it doesn't mean it's going to be like pasta that you get in a box. It's still going to be a little soft. It's still going to have some give. It's going to be more like refrigerated pasta that you get at the grocery store instead of box pasta. So if you're expecting it to be stiff and hard, this isn't what you are going to be getting so you won't be able to break it. It should be a little bit twisty now I selected all of the pasta the rotel shape that are approximately the same size that we get an even cooking time. So let's put it into our boiling water and then we're going to let it boil for about 2-3 minutes before checking it. Because it's not super super dried, it doesn't need nearly as much time as box pasta does so we're just going to leave it in here stir frequently and check in about 2-3 minutes. Once the pasta is cooked, it's going to have swelled up just a little bit almost like a dumpling you're going to drain it and then it' s ready for you to choose a sauce.
