Al dente
 The term 'Al Dente' comes from Italian and means 'to the tooth' or 'to the bite', referring to the need to chew the pasta due to its firmness. While it is most commonly used to describe pasta, it can also be used to describe rice or tender-crisp vegetables.
'Al dente' should not be confused with undercooked, sticky pasta that is still visibly white (i.e. dry) in the middle. |
