remember speeches and lectures in detail
but has a hard time with written text. Having
to read long texts is pointless and will not be
retained by the auditory learner unless it is
read aloud.

e. Reflector - Learns most from activities where
they can watch, listen and then review what

Cooking Method of Pasta
Learning Objectives:
After reading this information sheet, you should be able to
1. Identify the Cooking Method of Pasta
2. Ensure optimum quality using appropriate cooking methods.
3. Cooked Pasta using Boiling Method.
I. Cooking Methods of Pasta
A. To boil means to cook in a liquid that is bubbling rapidly and greatly
agitated. Water boils at 212F (100C) at sea level. No matter how high the
burner is turned, the temperature of the liquid will go no higher.
Boiling is generally reserved for vegetables and starches. (Gislen, p. 70).
B. To blanch means to cook an item partially and briefly, usually in water
but sometimes by other.
There are two ways of blanching in water:
Place the item in cold water, bring to a boil, and simmer briefly. Cool the
item by plunging it into cold water.
Place the item in rapidly boiling water and return the water to the boil.
Remove the item and cool in cold water. (Gislen, p. 71).
C. To saut means to cook quickly in a small amount of fat. (Gislen, p. 71).

Pasta Method can be used. It is so called because, like


pasta, the item is cooked in a large quantity of water and drained. This
method is good for producing separate, unsticky grains. However, some
nutrients are lost in the cooking water, so chefs disagree about the value of
the method.
1. Drop the washed, drained grain into a large pot of boiling salted water.
2. When just tender, pour into a strainer and drain well.
3. Place in a hotel pan. Cover and steam dry in oven 5 to 10 minutes, or
leave uncovered and place in a steamer to steam dry. (Gislen, p. 643).
Alternative Method: Steam Table Service

Pasta gradually becomes soft and mushy when kept hot for service, but it
will hold reasonably well for 30 minutes. It will not be as good as if
freshly cooked, however. This method should not be used unless cooking
pasta to order is not possible in a particular food-service operation.
1. Follow steps 1 to 3 above.
2. Drain the pasta while still slightly undercooked. Rinse briefly in cool
water, enough to stop the cooking and rinse off starch but not enough
to cool the pasta. Pasta should still be quite warm.
3. Transfer the pasta to a steam table pan and toss with oil to prevent
sticking.
4. Hold for up to 30 minutes. (Gislen, p. 661).

Cooking Pasta
DONENESS
Pasta should be cooked al dente, or to the tooth. This means cooking
should be stopped when the pasta still feels firm to the bite, not soft and
mushy. Much of the pleasure of eating pasta is its texture (thats why there
are so many shapes), and this is lost if it is overcooked.
Many suggestions have been made for testing doneness, but none is
more reliable than breaking off a very small piece and tasting it. As soon as
the pasta is al dente, the cooking must be stopped at once. Half a minute
extra is enough to overcook it.
Cooking times differ for every shape and size of pasta. Timing also
depends on the kind of flour used and the moisture content. Times indicated
on packages are often too long. Fresh egg pasta, if it has not been allowed to
dry, takes only 1 to 112 minutes to cook after the water returns to a boil.
The following procedures can be used for quantity cookery. (Gislen, p. 661).

Information Sheet 9.2-2


Matching sauces to pasta

Learning Objectives:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to select
sauces and accompaniments appropriate to starch products.
Matching sauces to pasta
Pasta is made in hundreds of shapes and sizes. Each shape is appropriate
for different preparations because of the way different kinds of sauce cling to
them or the way their textures complement the texture of the topping. The
illustration shows some of the most popular kinds. Table 19.2 describes the
most common shapes and gives suggestions for what sauces is best for
different kinds of pasta.
Remember that fresh egg pasta and factory-made spaghetti and macaroni
are different products. It makes no sense to say that one type is better than
the other. Italian cooks use fresh and dried pasta in different ways, with
different recipes for each type. Factory pasta has a chewy, robust texture,
good with robust sauces, while fresh egg pasta is tender and more delicate.
Fresh egg pasta absorbs sauces more deeply than factory macaroni
products. In general, factory-made pasta is ideal for olive oilbased sauces,
and fresh homemade pasta is better with butter or cream-based sauces.
Consider the texture of the sauce and the shape of the pasta for a match
made in heaven. (Gislen, p. 658).

Long or short, smooth or ridged, thick or thin, with or without curves and
crevices, different shapes of pasta capture and absorb sauce differently (see
Which pasta, which sauce?). Matched correctlyrigatoni with a hearty
sausage sauceand you have a hit, a pleasing interplay between the texture
of the pasta and the components of the sauce. In this case, the pieces of
sausage are captured in the hollow of the pasta. Matched less wellthe
same meat sauce paired with capellini (angel hair pasta)and you get the
vague sense that something is wrong. I say vague, because this kind of
mistake is not always apparent; the food may look good and smell good, but
it just doesn't come together well. In the case of the capellini, the delicate
noodles can't support the meat sauce, which gets left behind in the bowl as
the pasta gets eaten.

Perfect pasta pairingslinguine and clam sauce, cavatelli and broccoli, ziti
and meat saucehave been a part of the Italian culinary repertoire for
centuries. The possible combinations of pasta and saucethere are
hundreds of shapes of dried pasta aloneare limitless and may even be a
little intimidating when you start to think about it. But by following the
suggestions listed alongside the pasta shapes above, your dish will be off to
a sound start.
You can be less particular when matching fresh pasta with sauces. The
nuances of shapes and texture are less pronounced in fresh pasta than in
dried, and fresh pasta carries and absorbs any sauce more readily than
does dried. Fresh pasta generally follows the same rules as dried: the flatter
and longer shapes combine well with olive oil and cream sauces, while
sturdier shapes, such as orecchiette, work well with chunkier and more
assertively flavored sauces. Tomato and simple cream and butter sauces are
universal and will go well with basically all pasta

Table 19.2

(Gislen, p. 658).

Shaped pastas pair well with all kinds


of sauces, but especially those with
texture. Pieces of meat, vegetable, or
bean are captured in the crevices of the
pasta and nestle in the twists. The
shapes also add some whimsy to the plat

Short, tubular pastas go well with


sauces that are thick or chunky. Keep
the size of the ingredients in mind: tiny
macaroni won't hold a chickpea, while
rigatoni may feel too large for a simple
tomato sauce, where penne would work
better. Ridged pastas provide even more
texture for sauces to cling to

http://www.finecooking.com/articles/how-to/perfect-marriage-pastasauce.aspx

Long, thin dried pasta, such as


capellini, spaghetti, or linguine, marry
best with olive-oil-based sauces. These
long expanses of pasta need lots of
lubrication. Oil coats the pasta
completely without drowning it. Thicker
strands, like fettuccine and tagliatelle,
can stand up to cream sauces and
rags. When cutting vegetables or
herbs for long pasta, cut them stringlike rather than in cubes to help them
blend better

Food safety practices in cooking pasta

Learning Objective:
After reading this INFORMATION SHEET, YOU MUST be able to follow
workplace safety and hygienic procedures according to enterprise and legal
requirements.
Food safety practices in cooking pasta
Most people are surprised that cooked pasta and rice is a food poisoning
risk. In fact if you are entertaining and your fridge is full it is often the
cooked rice or pasta that is left out.

Dried rice and pasta will last a considerable time so follow the best before
date on the packaging.
Once it is cooked and begins to cool then toxins formed by Bacillus cereus
can form heat resistant spores and a heat resistant toxin. If cooked food is
allowed to cool slowly the spores can germinate and reheating or lightly
cooking the food will not destroy this toxin. The bacteria can grow and
produce toxin at refrigeration temperatures, it does so much more slowly
than at room temperature.
Precooked food should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than two to
three days.
Contamination Prevention
Cleanliness: A clean working environment is essential in the prevention of
contamination in working with pasta and other foods. Be sure to wash
hands thoroughly before handling the pasta dough. The work area, cutting
boards, and utensils must be clean. Do not use the same cutting board for
cutting pasta as was used for raw meat or poultry unless it has been
properly washed and dried before using. When you are finished making the
pasta, be sure to clean the work area and all utensils thoroughly. The eggs
in the dough are a potential risk factor for salmonella. Cleaning the area
with hot soapy water will help eliminate traces of the bacteria.
If you have used any type of pasta machine, be sure that you clean it
thoroughly when you are done. Remove all traces of dough. So not use water
to clean a hand-cranked machine because the water will cause the machine
to rust and become unusable. See the manufacturer's user manual for the
best way to clean whatever type of machine you use.
Handling: As with any dough that contains raw eggs, fresh egg pasta dough
should never be tasted when it is raw. It is also important that the eggs used
in the dough have been handled and stored properly. Use the freshest eggs
possible. Eggs should be stored in the refrigerator in the carton they were
packed in. Eggs should be stored in the coldest part of the refrigerator where
the temperature remains constant. Eggs keep best when they are stored at
temperatures of no higher than 40F. The ideal temperature range is 33F to
38F. Although salmonella bacteria is not destroyed in temperatures below
40F, any of the bacteria that may be present will not grow.

Cooking Safety
Handle all equipment and utensils with care to prevent injuries from
happening. Be extra careful when coming into contact with the blades and

dies on the pasta machines. When you are cutting homemade pasta by
hand, be cautious when using sharp knives. If holding the pasta in place
with one hand while cutting with the other, be sure that the fingers on the
hand holding the pasta are turned in towards the palm of the hand rather
than pointing towards the blade of the knife.
When boiling the pasta, use standard safety precautions. Keep pot handles
out of the way so that they don't accidentally get bumped, causing boiling
water to be spilled. Use potholders to protect your hands when handling
pots that do not have heatproof handles. When checking pasta for doneness,
be sure to cool the pasta before tasting. Be extremely careful when pouring
boiling water and pasta into the colander for draining. It is best to cook no
more than one and a half pounds of pasta at one time because that much
pasta and the boiling water it takes to cook it makes it too difficult and
unsafe to handle.

Proper Storage
Uncooked dried pasta is stored differently than uncooked fresh or
homemade pasta. Cooked pasta, whether it is dried or fresh, is stored in the
same manner. Uncooked and cooked pasta have several options for storing.
The storage options for each are shown below.
Uncooked Pasta
Dried Pasta: Dried pasta does not need to be refrigerated. It can be stored on
the shelf in an airtight container in a dry area that is not exposed to extreme
temperatures. Dried pasta can be stored indefinitely and still be safe to eat
but the USDA recommends storing dried pasta for no more than two years
to obtain the best quality. Some manufacturers will stamp their packages
with a "best if used by" date, which indicates that the flavor, color and
nutritional value may be affected if used beyond that date.
Fresh and Homemade Pasta: Fresh pasta can be stored in the refrigerator
for 2 or 3 days. If the pasta will not be used within that time, it can be
frozen and stored in the freezer for 2 to 3 months. Homemade pasta can be
store in the refrigerator for 1 or 2 days or frozen for 2 to 3 months.
Homemade pasta can also be allowed to dry thoroughly and then placed in a
plastic bag or airtight container. The length of time it will take to dry will
vary depending on the type of pasta and its size, shape and thickness. If
dried completely, the pasta can then be stored in a cool dry place for a
couple of months. If you are going to be using the pasta the same day as it is
made, you can allow the pasta to dry on a clean towel for a couple of hours
before you cook it unless it is stuffed pasta. Stuffed pasta, such as ravioli,

should be cooked within half an hour, otherwise the pasta will begin to
discolor and become damp.
If it is not going to be cooked
immediately it should be place on
a lightly floured towel that is
placed on a baking sheet,
sprinkled lightly with flour, and
then placed in the freezer. Once
they are frozen they can be stored
in a freezer proof bag or wrap and
then stored in the freezer for 8 or
9 months.
Frozen pasta does not have to be thawed before it is cooked. Just throw the
frozen pasta into boiling water and let it cook. It will need to cook a little
long than unfrozen pasta.
Cooked Pasta
Cooked pasta can be stored unsauced in an airtight container and
refrigerated for 4 or 5 days. The sauce should be refrigerated separate from
the pasta and can be stored for 6 or 7 days. This prevents the pasta from
soaking up too much flavor and oil from the sauce, which causes the taste of
the pasta to be drowned out. If the pasta is stored together with the sauce, it
should be eaten within 1 or 2 days to limit the amount of sauce that is
absorbed. If cooked pasta is not going to be used within the suggested time
period, it should be frozen and then it can be stored for approximately 3
months. Frozen cooked pasta should be thawed in the refrigerator and not
on the kitchen counter.
To store, cook the pasta as you normally would and then rinse with cold
water and allow it to drain well.

Add a small amount of olive


oil or butter to help prevent
the pasta from clumping
together while it is stored.
Use only enough oil or
butter to lightly coat the
pasta.

To refrigerate, place the


pasta in an airtight plastic
bag or an airtight container
and place in the
refrigerator. To freeze, place
in an airtight plastic freezer
bag and press out as much
excess air as possible and
place in the freezer.

If storing sauced pasta, eat


within 1 to 2 days to
prevent the pasta from
absorbing to much sauce.

When refrigerating or freezing cooked pasta, be sure it is stored in a well


sealed container so that it does not absorb any odors.
Cooked lasagne and baked pasta dishes can be refrigerated or frozen in the
same manner as plain cooked pasta. The lasagne and casseroles should be
first cut into individual servings before placing them in a sealed bag or
container. This will make it easier when reheating.

If you have an entire lasagna or


pasta dish to refrigerate or freeze,
it can be left in the baking dish
and tightly covered before storing.

The lasagna and baked pasta dishes can be refrigerated for 3 or 4 days or
they can be placed in a freezer and kept for approximately 3 months. If
frozen, the pasta dish should be thawed in the refrigerator and not on the
kitchen counter.
