Can't read, Bubba? The poster was making a lot of pasta for a lot of people
and wanted to know how not to overcook it. We'll add imbecile to your

If you can't pre-cook pasta and then warm it up and not have it turn into a
pile of goop, then you have absolutely no business in a kitchen. Have your
mommy hide the sharp knives, too.
