Pasta cooking time
27 Answers
Most supermarket pastas..spaghetti, conchiglie, etc. state 10-12 minutes cooking time. Well, I know the difference between undercooked, Al Dente, and overcooked, but even with a very fast boil, I find that most brands need 15 minutes to be perfect. Very hit and miss........comments?

I accept that fast boiling water may help prevent the pasta sticking. However since the thread was about pasta cooking time i pointed out that fast boiling water wouldn't make it cook any faster. Unless of course all the pasta stuck together in a huge lump because it wan't moving around enough, then of course it would take longer. But that never happens ( or not to me anyway).
Whether one uses fast boiling water, soft or hard water, cooked in white wine etc,etc. it is my opinion that the best advice was given at the very start of this thread....."just test it" as I do; and I put it on to simmer when boiling point has been reached. It never boils over and messes-up the top of my stove.:-)
