ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for automatically preparing and processing a precise portion of pasta at precise temperatures with fluid agitation. Uniform lengths and portions of pasta dough are extruded into an individual portion-sized cup disposed on a conveyor. Each cup includes a precise number of drain holes which maintain a full liquid level as water is added to the cup. The extruded pasta is precooked in the cup as the cup passes beneath a plurality of hot water jets which provide precise temperature control for optimum cooking, with the water velocity providing fluid agitation to prevent sticking or damage to the pasta. The precooked pasta is then cooled and rinsed by passage beneath another series of spray nozzles, treated with a flavor liquor containing flavor-enhancing ingredients, such as salt or parsley flakes, and treated with oil to prevent excessive agglutination and product loss. The precooked product is then emptied from the cup into an individually sized package for later use by the customer.
