HOW TO COOK: Cooking times may vary depending on your equipment. 1. Bring 4 quarts water to a boil (salt if desired). 2. Add desired amount of pasta; stir. 3. Reduce heat; cook 12 min (al dente) – 14 min, stirring occasionally. Drain. If using for cold salad, cool immediately under cold running water. Estimate ½ cup dry pasta per serving. Store in a cool, dry place.
