Here’s a dark secret: altitude and humidity are pasta villains. Live in Denver? Your water boils at a lower temperature. Your pasta will take an extra 10 seconds per minute.

How To Boil Pasta

Live in a swamp like Florida? The humidity makes the noodles sticky and slow. Adjust your brain, not just the timer.

Also, salt the water like you’re making ocean brine. It raises the boiling point by a tiny fraction of a degree. That fraction changes everything.

The Toothpick Test (Do Not Skip)

Pull out a single noodle at 7 minutes. Let it cool for 2 seconds. Bite it.

If it’s chalky and breaks with a snap? Not ready. Cook for two more minutes. If it bends but doesn’t break? Almost there.

If it sticks to your teeth like a shy confession? That’s al dente. Stop the water. Drain. Now!
