Don’t Boil your pasta, you’ll thank you

Don’t Boil your pasta, you’ll thank you... seriously and sometimes. Sometimes you want boiled, but hear me out. This method saves time, energy, and it comes out pretty good.

I had this idea of hydrating my pasta ahead of time years ago, for the weekly pasta bake I made for my family, and could only ever find one really old low quality video of someone else doing it. It's one of my secret weapons, when I know I'm going to be making pasta ahead of time. I can just throw it in boiling water for a couple minutes, or make the sauce and throw the hydrated pasta in, and maybe add a little of the starchy water. It's a great trick!

DON'T boil your pasta! this other method only takes about 1 minute. Proceeds to putting pasta in a pan and letting it sit for 2 hours in water

So here's another trick: If you boil water and then put it in the freezer, you can store boiled water to save up time the next time you cook pasta.

Oh I couldn’t wait to finish the video and get to the comments and they sure didn’t disappoint 😅. This video inspired me to cut my commute to work down from sixty minutes to just one, so now I drive to work the night before, I sleep in my car outside my office building. In the morning I wake up and just pull into the parking lot. Voila!

Eureka! If only there was a way to make a 10 minute meal take 2 hours and dirty more dishes. I love it!

Bro took 10 minutes of pasta cooking to 120 minutes.

“IT TAKES 1 MINUTE”

“PUT PASTA IN WATER ADD SALT, LEAVE FOR 2 HOURS” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Well, i'm a spontaneous eater. So preparing my food for literally two fking hours when i just want some pasta is completely out of the question for me personally.

[GardenK]

Yeah, now it takes over 2 hours.
I thought you had a trick for me to cook my pasta faster on my camping stove during my bike packing trips. 😁

5:30 at night....

Him: "What do you want for dinner? I'm starving."
Her: "Me too. How about pasta?"
Him: "Sounds good. Dinner should be ready around 8."
Her: think I want a divorce."

I like how making the sauce takes about the same time as boiling spagehetti, which you can do at the same time

[thatcriticvideo]

The trick is knowing you'll be making pasta ahead of time, which almost never happens! 😩 Hahaha

[SewTubular]

I usually boil my pasta for a week, but using this amazing time saving recipe I was able to cut the time down to just 2 hours. It's amazing!

[dultwthjb]

Obsessed with you putting in all this extra work and time just to avoid being bored for ten minutes lmao

[lukasbiktjrn]

Wait... what? First you tell us to boil everything and now you're telling us not to boil stuff? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[wormheamer]

> takes 1 minute
> look inside
> takes 2 hours

TBF, boiling it a few minutes in the sauce, really changes the consistency, and taste. A fair test would be making three dishes. Ones thats boiled in the sauce. One where its soaked, and then cooked in the sauce. And one that normal... or maybe even a normal boiled pasta, but finishing it off, in the sauce, which is what i usually do

[albertorkenbjorken]

this seems like extra work and time. i am too hungry to wait 2 hours for pasta that isn't even ready yet haha

[AxelQC]

You don't leave the heat on high after you put the pasta in. You lower it to medium-high. That way it doesn't boil over.

"here's an ingenious method to turn a quick 20 minute process into a 2 hour affair that need to be prepped ahead of time. Enjoy!"
