Today I learned that Barilla created Spotify playlists that are the length of time needed to cook pasta to al dente (open.spotify.com)

Drop the pasta, start the playlist, when the music is over, you’ve got perfectly cooked pasta

Okay but if they're as off as the times printed on the packet then it still does me no good 😭 lol

How are you cooking your pasta? It should be:

  1. Wait until water boils
  2. Drop in pasta
  3. Wait until water boils again, then start the timer

With a reasonably powerful induction stove there's no real difference between time 2. and 3.
