I find it highly depends on the maker of the pasta, and the variety in use. 9 minutes followed by immediately serving is actually quite conservative for some brands. It also depends on the cooking method and how long you intend to finish them in the sauce (or just cook them in the sauce - heresy, I know, but it fucking works). > I worry for American food. Gastronomic bigotry helps nobody, and just paints you as a dick. Hold off on it for your own sake.
