00:00Which pot do you think I'm gonna add pasta to?
00:02The answer?
00:03Both.
00:03You don't actually need to boil pasta to cook it.
00:05I know.
00:06You are putting the pasta right in the water
00:08and turning on the heat and letting it do its thing.
00:10You're using less water.
00:11You're using cold water.
00:13Both of these resulted in the same texture.
00:16Can you tell the difference?
00:18I don't think so.
00:19Couple things.
00:19In my opinion, if you're gonna cook tortellini or ravioli,
00:22something filled,
00:23I would wait for that to come to a simmer,
00:26add the pasta in and cook it as is.
00:28Don't start that in cold water.
00:29Fresh pasta.
00:30Also boil that.
00:31There's too much starch.
00:32There would be a lot of gumminess that would come from it.
00:34When using the cold water method,
00:36stick to dry pasta.
