I finally stopped boiling pasta in a pot way too small for it, and my Tuesday dinner went way better
For about 4 months I kept cramming a full pound of spaghetti into my little 2-quart pot, and it always clumped up in the middle while the ends stayed crunchy. Last week I just moved up to the 5-quart and used way more water than felt normal, and the noodles came out separate and even for the first time, no stirring battle. Does anyone else have a pot size they swear by, or am I just late to the party on this one?
