Although I heard a reason for the toast thing the other day. As it slowly toasts it gets a tiny bit darker. Once darker it doesn't reflect as much energy, hence absorbs it and result is exponential roasting levels.

- bromuro 1y agoIt depends a lot from the quality of the pasta. some are more generous with the time and will get overcooked more gently.
