I just gave the soak method a try on dry rigatoni pasta for a dinner party tonight. First I covered the dry pasta with enough water in a pot and let it alone for 2 hours. Then I turned on the heat to do a final cook which took all of 8 mins. drained, drizzled with olive oil and lightly covered the cooled pasta with Saran Wrap. Later tonight, I will start my sauce and add the prepared pasta. The pasta tasted perfect and took much less water and time. Soaking…I’m convinced.
