How to cook spaghetti?

Italians know a lot about tasty and satisfying food. Fragrant pizza, crumbly risotto, funny little ravioli, multi-layered lasagna, and, of course, spaghetti. Without them, the inhabitants of Italy cannot imagine their life.

Often, with the pleasure of eating the next portion in a cafe, we are confident in the ideal result of trying to repeat the preparation of the same dish at home. But here, bad luck. The products are not enough soft, then already overcooked. How to find the "golden mean"? Let's try to figure it out.

Bellissimo!

Not all pasta may be called spaghetti. There are generally accepted sizes in cooking - a diameter of about 2 mm, and a length of about 25 cm. Those with a larger diameter are already called �spaghetti�, and thinner products are �spaghetti�.


Spaghetti is served, usually with sauce, the recipes of which the Italians know a huge amount. And every experienced hostess will tell you that almost any product can serve as a tasty additive.

The process of cooking spaghetti seems very simple, but why then the result is sometimes not at all happy? If you want the dish to be really tasty and aesthetic in appearance, listen to several important rules and recommendations:

  1. Spaghetti, like all pasta after cooking, should have a state of "al dente", that is, be slightly undercooked. Italians categorically do not perceive the dish, which turns into porridge still in the pan. Spaghetti should be served in a few minutes in hot water, but after removal from the heat.
  2. How strange it would have sounded, but for a perfect result you need the right pot. Large, and with a wide bottom. So the products will conveniently fall into the water and be able to cook evenly.
  3. Do not put them in cold water, otherwise sticking together cannot be avoided.
  4. During boiling the lid should not be closed, and to thin �strings� do not stick together, you can add a little olive oil to the water.
  5. Rinse the finished dish is not necessary, it is done only if you want to add spaghetti in a cold salad.
  6. How much should you cook? Usually the cooking time is indicated on the package and can be individualized for different types. But in total, the process should not take more than 10 minutes, for thin species, and 20-25 minutes, if it is thick spaghetti from durum wheat.
  7. Do not hurry to pour out the water in which our future dish was cooked; it may be necessary for the sauce if it turns out to be too thick.

Hearty, elegant and simple

It is worth remembering that real spaghetti is made exclusively from durum wheat and water. If the package in the composition you saw the item "wheat flour" - in front of you the usual pasta.

This paste, in addition to having excellent taste, also brings considerable benefits. In addition to the B vitamins, as well as E and PP, it contains tryptophan - a substance responsible for the production of "hormones of happiness." That is why after the next portion of such a dish the mood improves.
By the way, the caloric content of such products in the finished form is only 158 kcal, while the usual pasta is almost twice as much.

Now, let's move from words to deeds, and share with you a few popular recipes.

Let's start directly with cooking the spaghetti itself. So, you will need:

  • pasta - 300 g;
  • water - 3 l;
  • salt - 30 g
There is a special Italian rule "110", according to which for every 100 g of paste you need to take 1 liter of water and 10 g of salt.

Put the spaghetti in boiled salted water, they should lie down like a fan. We cook the time indicated on the package, but we surely try for 2-3 minutes before the end. If our �pieces of twine� are still quite solid, you can boil another minute, but then try again. The finished dish should be aesthetic in appearance and not look like porridge.

After removing the pan from the heat, let it stand for 2 minutes, closing the lid. Next, drain the water and drain the paste into a colander.

Do not rinse, but simply wait until all the water is drained.

Spaghetti is also served in a special way. In order not to lose the temperature of the dish, the plates in which it is put must be preheated. Italians do this not only in restaurants, but even by serving the dish at home.
And for accuracy and preservation of the integrity of the "string" impose special tongs, carefully lifting the product.
It is also worth remembering that there is a special fork for spaghetti, and eating them, cutting them into pieces, is considered a bad taste. This should be done exclusively by reeling on the plug.

Now let's find out with what you can serve such a dish. The easiest option - with cheese and herbs, but a more refined taste can be achieved by adding sauces. If you put together all the recipes, there are more than 2 thousand.

We will share those who are especially revered by the inhabitants of Italy:

Bolognese. 


This name is often on everyone's lips, but there are so many variations on the subject of this additive to the dishes that the traditional version has gradually been lost sight of. But we still recommend to listen to the advice of experienced chefs and cook Bolognese as it was prepared since its inception. It will take:

  • minced meat (beef + pork) - 0.5 kg;
  • onions - 1 pc .;
  • carrots - 1 pc .;
  • celery - 1 pc .;
  • canned tomatoes - 300 g;
  • garlic - 2 tooth .;
  • milk - 300 ml;
  • dry wine - 200 ml;
  • butter - 50 g;
  • seasonings;
  • olive oil.
The process of cooking the sauce will take some time, but the result is worth it. To begin with in a pan in a mixture of butter and olive oil to fry the finely chopped garlic. After that, put the finely chopped vegetables, and let them stew for a few minutes. Add the stuffing, and mix well to avoid large lumps.
Fry everything for 5 minutes, stirring constantly, and pour in milk. Increase the heat and let the mixture boil for 10 minutes so that the milk soaks the meat. Do the same with wine.

Add tomatoes, kneading them with a spoon, spices, make a small fire, cover with a lid so that there is only a small hole, and simmer the sauce for 2 hours.

Tomato. 


Sauce with a pronounced taste that will appeal to even the most sophisticated gourmet. Take:

  • chicken fillet - 300 g;
  • onions - 1 pc .;
  • garlic - 2 tooth .;
  • tomato sauce - 150 g;
  • basil;
  • Italian herbs;
  • spice.
Fillet cut into small pieces, season, and fry in butter, put on a plate. Put chopped onion and garlic in a frying pan, lightly fry, put sauce and chicken. Simmer for 7 minutes, serve with spaghetti with finely chopped basil.

Creamy. 


By adding mushrooms, the potting is very fragrant. You will need:


  • mushrooms - 250 g;
  • cream - 200 ml;
  • onions - 1 pc .;
  • butter;
  • garlic - 2 tooth .;
  • olive oil;
  • spice.

Mix olive and butter in a pan, put the crushed garlic, and fry for a few minutes. Cut the champignons into plates and send to garlic, simmer until the liquid evaporates. After that, put onions, add spices, stew for a few minutes, and pour in the cream. Cook for another 10 minutes.

Besides the fact that spaghetti can just be boiled, they can also be baked. But in this case, to get a tasty dish, the cooking time should be half the time.

By the way, sushi and rolls are not the same thing, in Japanese restaurants the offer is so great that visitors simply get lost.

Rolls are a kind of sushi that is made from a single roll, cut into separate parts, and they look like a tight roll filled with various traditional ingredients - vegetables, algae, fruit or seafood. But sushi is prepared one by one, they are a lump of rice with a piece of seafood.

Those who are new to this simple affair, of course, it�s best to try a mix of different types of rolls and sushi, here you can taste different flavors of traditional Japanese cuisine and decide what you like best.

The most common and popular are Philadelphia rolls and California rolls, which, by the way, got their name from their own additives.

The true connoisseurs of a delicate combination of red fish and fine Philadelphia cheese will have such rolls to their liking, you can even be sure. But how to cook Philadelphia rolls at home, we will tell you right here and now, because, as you know, what is cooked with your own hands is doubly delicious.

These rolls are prepared according to a special technology - urakami, which implies fish stuffing outside the roll, which is somewhat unusual, as it most often happens inside.

By the way, Philadelphia rolls owe their existence not to the Japanese at all, but to the American sushi specialist, who offered such an unusual technique at the beginning of the 20th century.

As you know, there are quite a few recipes for making delicious rolls at home. After all, how many people, so many opinions, sushi is a rather customizable dish to suit your desires and tastes.

Philadelphia rolls are rightfully considered a dietary dish, because the energy value of one serving of such sushi is only 280 calories.

The main thing is to make a dish

So if you want to eat something tasty and unusual, but do not gain extra pounds, then Philadelphia rolls - for you, by the way, they also look very festive on the dinner table, on a note. So, there are many dish options, we will consider one of them, the classic one. Stock up on special tools in advance: food wrap, roll mat (makisu) and a sharp knife.

Philadelphia rolls

For cooking you will need:

 
  • Special rice for sushi - 120 g;
  • Salmon fillet - 60 g;
  • Cucumber - 1 pc .;
  • Avocado - 1 pc .;
  • Philadelphia cheese - 35 g;
  • Pressed seaweed (Nori) - 1 sheet;
  • Lemon, tobiko caviar.
  • Wassabi (Japanese horseradish).
  • Acetic mixture.
Oddly enough, but it is rice that is the main component in the preparation of sushi, it is very important to cook it correctly, because the whole taste of rolls depends on it. Special Japanese rice will do (it has short rounded grains), keep in mind that plain rice will not work as it absorbs too much water.

Try rice Minori Kahomai or Nishiki. To begin with, we thoroughly wash the rice, to do this, pour it into a container and pour it with cold water, after which we clean it from any small debris with massaging movements, the water will become turbid, similar to milk. If you skip this moment, the rice will be covered with sticky starch during cooking, which is not acceptable for sushi.

Such a miracle can be done in your kitchen.


Drain the water, squeeze the rice with your hand, then refill with clean water, squeeze and drain, repeat this action only as many times as necessary until the water is completely transparent. Drain.

During cooking, the water should be completely absorbed by the rice, after boiling it should boil only 10-12 minutes, after which vents are formed on the surface, indicating that the rice is ready. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it brew for 15 minutes.

After that, we shift the rice into a wooden bowl and pour it with vinegar mixture for sushi, by the way, it can be cooked by yourself. To do this, mix 50 ml of vinegar, 10 g of salt and 30 g of sugar, you can gently heat the mixture so that the sugar and salt are dissolved in vinegar.

Now we will cut cucumber and avocado. There is nothing complicated here, the cucumber can be peeled and cut into thin long strips. Someone prefers to cut out the middle with seeds, but someone has to taste it.

Tasty and bright


When choosing an avocado - the main thing is not to make a mistake, because an unripe fruit is not very tasty in rolls, during the selection, slightly squeeze it in your hand, if it succumbs to your movement, then it is ripe. Better a few hours before cooking, pull the avocado out of the refrigerator, otherwise it will be hard and cold to taste.

It is also cut into small strips, pre-scrape the skin. Salmon fillets are best purchased in specialized stores marked �sushi grade�, in order to cut them into thin slices, make sure that you have a sharp knife.

How to twist


Is Philadelphia rolls? To do this, we need makisa and food film, spread it on a bamboo mat, and put half of the nori seaweed on top. Pre-wet your hands with water and lemon, and spread the rice evenly over the entire surface of the leaf, leaving only 1 cm of algae on the edge, which should be free of rice. Now fold makisa in half, cover the rice and turn it over.

Open the mat, and observe that the rice will be at the bottom, and the algae at the top. We smear them with cream cheese, spread the prepared slices of cucumber, apple or avocado, to taste. By the way, following the rules, in Philadelphia rolls you cannot use more than two vegetables or fruits.

Now we turn the makis into a straw to make one long roll. We spread slices of salmon, raw, slightly salted or smoked, pre-cut into a thin layer, on the upper part - this is a matter of your personal tastes and preferences.

The formed roll must be cut with a sharp knife, pre-moistened in cold water. Before serving, garnish with ginger and wasabi, you can add tobiko caviar, but this is purely to your taste.
