The cooking of
Hi. Could you please tell me if the following phrase is natural?:
-I have never seen such a weird cooking of pasta
What I'm doubting about is whether the word "cooking" is a proper noun. Is it? And if it is not, are there any other ways to make a noun out of "to cook"? Thanks!

I have never seen such a weird cooking of pasta. "Cooking" is certainly not a proper noun and, no, your example is not at all natural. The noun use of "cooking" is well-established, for example: Everyone enjoys good cooking .

No, you don't want that. Try this instead:
I've never seen pasta cooked in such an unusual way.
(Or ... in such a weird way if you really have your heart set on using 'weird' in your sentence.)
