Chef's tip
Use the same amount and stir until it dissolves. Honey tastes a touch sweeter, so you can also use slightly less.
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, then cook the rotini according to package directions until al dente — tender with a slight resistance at the center, about 8–10 minutes.
2
Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse under cold running water until completely cool to the touch. Shake off excess water and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
