About this saved recipe
Ingredients
- 3 1/2 oz pasta
- 1 1/2 cup stock
- 0.42 cup extra stock
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Heat a large pot over medium‑high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil, allowing it to shimmer but not smoke.
- 2Add the 100 g of pasta to the pot and toss for 30 seconds, coating each strand with oil to prevent sticking.
- 3Pour in 350 ml of your chosen stock, stirring to combine with the pasta.
- 4Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer; once simmering, reduce the heat to maintain a steady bubble.
- 5Cook the pasta for 10–12 minutes, stirring every 2–3 minutes to ensure even cooking and to prevent the pasta from clumping.
- 6If the liquid evaporates before the pasta is al dente, add the reserved extra stock (100–200 ml) a little at a time, stirring after each addition until the desired consistency is reached.
- 7Taste the pasta and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your preference.
- 8Remove the pot from heat, let the pasta rest for 1 minute to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 9Serve the pasta hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or basil, and a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired.
