An argument *for* cooking pasta in more water

Ah - I missed that it was acting as a pipe :joy:

Still experimenting with the soak method. I placed mini bowtie dry pasta in a large jar soaking in the frig overnight. This morning I drained the soaking water, emptied pasta in pot topped with fresh water just to cover and it cooked to a toothy point in 5 mins. Now I’ll make a small batch of cold veggie pasta salad for later.
