Oh! I've never tried toasting my pasta. How do you do that?
I'll just add a little oil, turn off the heat, and throw the already-cooked pasta in there. It's a little bit like frying rice. It works best if I dry the pasta out first, by drying it with a linen or paper towel.
I actually hadn't dried the pasta out here, and it was a little more dense.
I would never have thought to do that, but it makes sense. I'll have to try this out.
