The pasta may be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Cooking. Cook fresh pasta noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water. (Use about 6 quarts of water for 1 pound of pasta.) Fresh pasta takes considerably less time to cook than dried, usually 1 to 3 minutes, so watch it carefully. To test, remove a noodle with tongs or a long-handled fork and take a bite.
This lets the pasta dry in straight long strips rather than curling during the drying process. Step 5. Spin long pasta noodles, such as fettuccine and angel hair pasta, into round nests, as an alternative to hanging them over the back of a chair. The nests can be easier to store than the long noodles. Turn the nests over several times while they are drying to prevent mold. Step 6. Dry all of the pasta for an additional 15 minutes, after cutting, for soft pasta, and for at least 1 hour for hard, dried pasta. Step 7. Place the pasta in airtight containers or zipper-lock plastic bags. The soft pasta should be stored in the refrigerator and eaten within several days.
