Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tbsp kosher salt. Cook the rotini according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 8–10 minutes. Drain through a colander, rinse under cold running water until the pasta is completely cool, and shake off excess water.
