To cook BoUglez, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, add it to a soup, or chill it for a pasta salad. Be careful not to overcook, as the small shape can become mushy.
