A pasta cooker which includes an open water tank shaped to receive pasta for cooking, a heater for boiling water in the tank, a trough positioned to receive and collect starch foam from an upper surface of the water in tank, and a drain for draining water from the trough and tank, the drain including a screen box for filtering pasta particles and starch foam from drained water to prevent clogging of drains downstream of the screen box. The trough is coextensive with a front upper edge of the water tank, and the cooker includes a water fill valve which is actuatable to fill the tank such that a small amount of water continuously washes over from the tank into the trough during the cooking of pasta, thereby conveying starch foam floating on the upper surface of the water of the tank to the trough. The screen box includes a removable drawer having perforated sides and positioned to receive the water and starch foam drained the from the trough and tank. The drawer is positioned within a housing shaped to collect water flowing through the drawer, and to receive water which overflows from the drawer in the event that the drawer becomes completely clogged. The screen box includes a downwardly and rearwardly sloping floor to direct drained water toward a rear opening connected to a conventional drain pipe. The pasta cooker preferably includes a second tank, also draining into a screen box, for washing cooked pasta. The second tank also includes a flexible spray nozzle for cleaning both tanks and washing cooked pasta.
