The art of pasta
in 6 easy steps.

Even if you don’t commute on a Vespa, you can still cook like an Italian. 

Pasta 101

Step 1

Salt the water
like the sea

Wait for a full boil, then add salt. More than you think.
No, a little more

Pro tip: 2 tablespoons per 12 cups. Yes, really.

Step 2

Drop it like it’s hot

Toss in the pasta. Stir for the first minute to keep
the noodles from attaching.

Step 3

Taste, don’t time

Box says 9–11 minutes, but we trust your bite more than your clock. Aim for that perfect al dente - not crunchy, but firm.

Step 4

Save the magic water

Right before draining, scoop out ½ cup of pasta water.
It’s liquid gold for sauce.

Step 5

Don’t rinse. Ever.

Keep the starch. That’s what makes it Brami.

Step 6

Simmer, swirl, serve

Reunite pasta + sauce in a hot pan. Add a splash of pasta water. Simmer. Swirl. Taste. Serve.

Optional garnish: Pecorino, olive oil drizzle, your best herbs
