Tips For Cooking Einkorn pasta (particularly the more fragile long cuts like spaghetti and linguine)

●Cook the pasta in a very large stockpot with lots of boiling water (at least 4 quarts)
●Fill the pot up with enough water so the pasta is nearly covered when you drop them in the pot (standing up)
●Cover the pot until the water boils, because it’s important for the water to come back to a rolling boil quickly
●Once the water boils, cook the pasta uncovered
●Do not stir the pasta until it has softened, after about 1 minute
●Use a long spoon to stir the pasta one time, very gently, reaching down to the bottom of the pot to prevent sticking
●After 5 minutes of cooking, stir the pasta again in the same manner
●Do not stir the pasta more than twice, three times at the most
●Once the pasta is cooked, drain as you normally would, but always use a gentle touch
●You will discover that if you were having problems with breakage before, reducing the stirring will help immensely, and you can enjoy your pasta even more
