Is this weird or have I just never seen it before: I made some fettucini alfredo and some of the noodles are uncooked. And I don’t mean I didn’t boil them long enough, I mean like they never finished the noodle cooking process at the manufacturing level because a few strands of the fettucini are still straight up raw flour in the middle.
Pasta is never precooked by the manufacturer, unless it’s in something like a frozen meal intended to be heated in the microwave or oven. Boxed pasta is a dough mixed from flour and water, then shaped and dried.
