To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to a salad, or incorporate it into a baked dish. Ensure the water is generously salted for best flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
