      Dried whole-weat pasta: 8-9 minutes

      Dried white pasta: 6-7 minutes

      That’s how I like to cook it. It has a bite but it’s not undercooked or raw.

      Al dente is Italian for “to the tooth”, and the term is supposed to mean your pasta has a little chew to it. I think Al Dante here is wordplay, and means “to Dante”, or likely straight to the ninth circle of hell (Italian writer Dante wrote the classic poem the Divine Comedy which describes a journey through hell, which Dante envisioned as being made up of layers/circles of increasing evilness).

    Al dente means undercooked. This is overcooked.
