Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: Last night , I decided to cook pasta for dinner . I had a few different varieties in my pantry to choose from - angelhair , spaghetti , linguine , rotini , penne , and shells . I decided to make the linguine . While I waited for the pot of water to boil , I grated some parmesan cheese . Once the water came to a boil , I emptied the box of linguine into the pot . I stirred the linguine so that it would not stick together . Then I placed the linguine into a pan on the stove over medium heat . To create a simple sauce , I drizzled some olive oil over the pasta , and added a tablespoon of butter to the pan . I then added freshly ground pepper and the parmesan cheese I grated earlier . I stirred the ingredients together . Question: What food item was drained? Option1: The pasta. Option2: The sauce.
Output (English): The pasta.
