Author Christina Conte (and everyone in Italy)
The typical way of reheating pasta in Italy is on the stove with olive oil.

Equipment

  • 1 Nonstick frying pan, or even a nonstick wok

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pour some extra virgin olive oil into a nonstick frying pan, or wok, over medium high heat, and add the pasta.

  • Add a little more oil over the top of the pasta, and let it begin to sizzle for a few minutes before stirring it. 
  • Every now and then, turn the pasta; depending on how crispy you want it, leave it longer without turning it for a crispier result.

  • It's ready when it's hot, so it's a matter of taste to decide when to stop cooking it. I love it very crispy, so I let it cook longer. (It is excellent most any kind of pasta.)

Notes

  • If the pasta sticks or looks very dry, add more extra virgin olive oil.
  • 10 minutes of cooking time won't yield super crispy pasta unless you have it on very high heat. Cook longer for crispier results.
