If you’re like me, your “pasta timer” is grabbing a piping hot noodle from the pot and tasting it to see if it’s cooked.
My wife always has the stove’s timer set, though, and I’m honestly not a fan.
I don’t know why, I just prefer to taste it. Mostly because I will be eating the pasta and my stove will not.
I want to be the master of my cooking destiny.
But you know what?
I might give the Barilla Spotify pasta playlist time a go.
I never knew this existed until today but Barilla, the family-owned Italian food company, apparently got tired of watching people overcook or undercook pasta and decided to do something about it.
They built 9 Spotify playlists whose total runtime matches the exact cooking time of each pasta shape.
Drop the pasta in boiling water, hit play, and when the music stops, you’re done. Al dente every time.
