Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid.

Tips:
- Use a high-quality bread for your panini. A sturdy bread, such as ciabatta or sourdough, will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy.
- Don't overload your panini. Too many fillings will make it difficult to close and may cause the bread to tear.
- Press your panini down firmly with a panini press or a heavy skillet. This will help to ensure that the bread is evenly toasted and the fillings are melted and gooey.
- Serve your panini hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tomato sauce, pesto, or ranch dressing.
