How about some Pasta?

SB -- every time I try wholewheat pasta it seems gummy and yucky. Is there a trick to cooking it? I like al dente pasta, but I can't seem to make the whole wheat ones come out that way no matter what I try.

Butterfly, I usually put a drop of olive oil and dash of sea salt in the water, wait unti it come to a full rapid boil and stir the spaghetti/pasta a couple of times while it's cooking. Normally it's ready in around 13 minutes, no longer. I start tasting strands at around 10 mins. just in case, we both like our pasta on the al dente side too.
 

I have been turning Zucchini and Yellow Squash into pasta using a veggie spiral cutter. Of course it's NOT pasta.. but at least it looks like it and is much easier on the waistline.
