Al Dente
Italian for 'to the tooth'. It refers to the firm but trender consistency a perfectly (in some opinions) cooked piece of pasta will have.
An Italian expression indicating the correct degree of
cooking for pasta, which must be removed from the heat and
drained while it is still firm enough to bite into.
The term can also be used to describe the degree of doneness
for certain vegetables, like green beans, which are best served
while still crunchy.
