Chicken Breast Recipe Tip
Al Dente

	Many pasta recipes instruct you to follow the instructions on your dried pasta package and cook accordingly. For most pasta dishes the proper doneness means preparing the pasta to where it is firm, but not hard. The pasta is still a bit chewy. The Italians refer to this as Al Dente. Test a piece of pasta every few minutes to see if it is done. Do not rely on solely on the package or recipe instructions, as they are a guide. Note that pasta will continue cooking after removed from the heat source.
