How do you remove the residual heat from cooked pasta once you remove it from the boiling water?

Did you know that it’s a simple process of (1) draining the pasta into a colander, (2) placing it into a wide-mouthed, open container (like a pie dish) and then (3) leaving it to sit at room temperature? This will effectively allow the residual heat to dissipate by conduction and convection.

That could work but the most common way is to run the pasta under some cold water to stop the cooking process and then let the excess water drain.

Hm, well let’s try that out together, then!  I will guide you to help you find all the right tools and ingredients you need, then help you process it.   Are you ready?

Um...no. You don't have that capability. You're a chat bot. I also don't have cooked pasta on hand nor do I want to try it now. I was just telling you how it's done.
