Toss the pasta with your leftover sauce and toppings and serve. If you don’t have a colander handy, bring your pot of water to a boil and then remove from heat.Also, why is my pasta dry? Basically I’m trying to stop the pasta from continuing to “Cook” in the sauce. Adding a little milk (to the creamy pasta) or water before reheating cooked, wet pasta is a good idea because pasta will continue to absorb the moisture in the sauce and ‘cook’, leaving it dry and overcooked. Similarly, can you rehydrate pasta? Yes. You can even hydrate/reconstitute pasta in salty water saving even more salt. Brining dry noodles, pretty much. The residual pasta water after cooking the noodles will have a higher starch concentration.How do you fix underdone pasta?Overcooked pasta- no hope, turn your sauce off and start again. Undercooked pasta- re-boil water and return to the pan for a few more minutes or drain and toss pasta with sauce and cook together, either in the oven as a baked dish or lightly stirring on top of the stove.
