Spaghetti Alla Vodka

Gluten is a protein present in the flour of the dough which causes the dough to stick together. If we over-knead the dough, it would become tough and clumpy. The flour molecules are starches, which when placed in the boiling water, absorb the water, making the outside 80-90% water and the center 40-60% water, since the outer protein network breaks once it absorbs the water. The onions and garlic brown due to the Maillard reaction, which is a result of the sugars in the garlic and onions breaking down. 
Overall, our presentation went well. The kids really enjoyed the pasta. Initially, the kids did not want to try the sauce with pasta; however, after their classmates tried it everyone else wanted some. One kid said the sauce tasted like "goodness". To improve our presentation, we would have cooked the pasta at the start, since it took longer than usual to cook the large amount of pasta.
