When we're making pasta, we're doing it in a Dutch oven.
If you’ve never used a Dutch oven to make pasta, that’s totally cool. This isn’t some new, scary experience you have to prepare for. All you have to do is switch one pot for another. But why are we telling you to do this? Well, there are a few reasons. Let’s dive in.
The most convincing reason that the Dutch oven is the best pasta pot has to do with its size and shape. When we make pasta, we like to finish it, cooked, in the same pan that we've made our sauce in, where it can become fully coated with our beautifully-emulsified pasta sauce. And here's the thing: Tossing a whole pound of pasta in a regular ol' skillet, filled with a bunch of other ingredients, is a recipe for disaster—the pasta ends up flying.
And less mess should be enough of a reason to make the switch to the Dutch oven for finishing pastas. But if you need one more, another enabler for your laziness, Dutch ovens are great for serving as well. Just wipe up the edges, put a towel down on your table, and plop that big old pot of pasta in front of everyone.Photo by Heidi's BridgeBut there are plenty of other reasons to reach for your trusty Dutch oven when you're taking a trip to pasta town.
