Hello!

I just noticed on a package of pasta I bought that it encouraged a 10:1 water to pasta ratio. That is 1 litre of water per 100 g pasta. A standard pack of pasta would require 5 liters of water.

Is this totally normal to you? What’s your ratio?

I think I’m somewhere slightly less than 3:1 for my standard pasta boil.

    This video even shows a method using a wok that’s really similar to kenji’s last experiment, where he cooks the pasta with a small amount of water and just uses the remaining starchy water to immediately make a sauce. Pretty smart!
