In this Learning Outcome you shall

regarding
Preparing
Starch Dishes
Watch the video about cooking
methods of pasta
Perform Task Sheet 9.2-1
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).

tablespoons (25 g) salt per 4 quarts (4 L) water?
5. Boil Water and drop the pasta?
6. Continue to boil, stirring a few times?
7. As soon as the pasta is al dente, drain it
immediately in a colander and rinse with cold
running water until completely cooled?
8. Toss the pasta with a small amount of oil to keep it
from sticking?
9. Serve Pasta, place the desired number of portions
in a china cap and immerse in simmering water to
reheat. Drain, plate, and add sauce?

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

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.
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.
