My office is doing a pasta bar, but we don't know how to keep the pasta from getting rubbery and stuck togetherThe sauces are going to be kept in a different spot so people can pick what they wantAny ideas?
After cooking the pasta, drain and rinse with cold water (this gets rids of the starch and gluten which makes it stick)Toss with a little olive oilYou can then put it in a crock pot (on low or warm), or you can use the aluminum foil pansYou don't need to keep it hot, as long as the sauces are (the hot sauce will heat up the pasta).
You can't just write Al O because the charges don't match up rightWhen Al is part of an ionic compound, it is always +3 and Oxygen is always a -2So to get an even charge you have to have 2 aluminums and 3 oxygens.
