Step 1: Assessing the Situation
WARNING: Undercooked pasta is a serious emergency.
Take a deep breath and carefully evaluate the severity of the situation. Is the pasta still steaming from the microwave? Has it cooled to a lukewarm, gelatinous mess? Or is it a fully-formed, congealed brick?
- Steaming hot: Call in a professional to salvage the situation. (Step 2: Locate Your Kitchen)
- Lukewarm: Attempt to salvage with a dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. (Revival with Olive Oil)
- Congealed brick: Prepare for the worst. Your only hope lies with a firehose and an industrial-strength pasta scraper. (Step 3: Activate Emergency Pasta Protocol)
