Lol. Al dante, the way my mom interprets that word, taste uncooked to me. I cook them a bit more.

Dried whole-weat pasta: 8-9 minutes

Dried white pasta: 6-7 minutes

That's how I like to cook it. It has a bite but it's not undercooked or raw.

Sure, that's al dente. How long for al dante?

Whatever pasta - I just fuckin try it to check if it's done to my standards.

Al dente is Italian for "to the tooth", and the term is supposed to mean your pasta has a little chew to it. I think Al Dante here is wordplay, and means "to Dante", or likely straight to the ninth circle of hell (Italian writer Dante wrote the classic poem the Divine Comedy which describes a journey through hell, which Dante envisioned as being made up of layers/circles of increasing evilness).

Al dente means undercooked. This is overcooked.
