Mine too. Just past al dente, just before soggy.

Lol! Is that a literal thing?
Do people actually trow pasta against the wall to test it for doneness?

Thanks for this. I always manage to ness up my spaghetti when cooking. I will literally set an alarm for my self when next I attempt to prepare that dish.Mary Jane Magdale wrote: ↑24 May 2018, 18:31 Cooking pasta is really simple, but like a lot of simple cooking, timing is crucial. Most dried pasta cooks in about 10 mins – a few minutes less and it will be chalky and tough, a few minutes more and you’ll end up with a slimy mush. The trick is to test it and stop cooking when it’s perfectly ‘al dente’ – which translates from Italian as ‘to the tooth’ but simply means you should need to use your teeth to chew it.![]()
