Absorption cooking

[nancylebov]

agrumer recommended cooking spaghetti in the sauce.

I've tried it with whole wheat spaghetti, and it definitely tastes better that way, and there's one less pot to clean. The only drawback is that the spaghetti comes out almost sauce colored, so there's a loss of visual contrast.

I think this method is worth trying for any carbohydrate that you need to cook and are planning to put under a sauce.
