How long to cook filled pasta

Two things decide it, and none of them is on the clock. Answer them and the time below is yours.

Your time 3:00

Fresh or frozen?

Straight from frozen into the water. Thawing makes them split.

How big?

How to tell without a timer

They float when done. Lift them out rather than draining.

Keep it at a simmer. A rolling boil tears filled pasta open and empties it into the water.

How it goes

  1. Gentle simmer, not a rolling boil — a hard boil bursts them.
Every combination, as a table

The app does this, then learns

The timer above is the same arithmetic Kitchen Sense runs. The part a web page cannot do is the next bit: you say whether it came out right, and the next one is closer. Free, 68 dishes, no account.
