Many will argue that pasta is best cooked until "al dente." For those who aren't chefs, what does the term "al dente" literally mean in English?

Al dente literally means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it indicates that your noodles should have a little bite - just a little bit of resistance when bitten into. Al dente practice are not just limited to pasta. The term may be used for vegetables, rice, and other grains as well.
