How to Incorporate Rooster Crests into Your Cooking?

For a serving of a dish, you can opt for 100g of dry pasta, but if you prefer to accompany your meal with pasta, 80g will suffice. The preparation is simple: just place the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, depending on your personal preferences. Make sure to use 1 liter of water per 100g of pasta for optimal cooking.
