Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the whole-grain rotini according to package directions until al dente, tender with a slight resistance at the center. Drain through a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and spread on a sheet pan or leave in the colander to cool for about 10 minutes.
