Techniques in preparing pasta before plating

1. Pasta is best if cooked and served immediately, try to cook pasta
upon order
2. If pasta is to be served immediately, just drain and do not rinse in
cold water.
3. If pasta is to be used cold in salad, it is ready to be incorporated in
the recipe as soon as it has cooled.
4. If pasta is to be held, toss gently with a small amount of oil to keep it
from sticking.
5. Measure portions into mounds on trays. Cover with plastic film and
refrigerate until service time.
6. To serve, place the desired number of portions in a China cap and
immerse in simmering water to reheat. Drain, plate and add sauce.
