For those who can't quite get their pasta right, fear not. The Undercooked Pasta Technique is here to save the day.
Step 1: Cook for 2 minutes less than your mom would.
Throw it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This will rehydrate the pasta and make it almost edible again.
Serve with a generous helping of mayonnaise. This will distract from the texture.
Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2, and voilà! You'll have a dish that's almost as good as your mom's.
