Pasta Tips


The following tips will be useful for cooking many pasta dishes:


When reheating sauce, don't let it boil. It's already cooked and only needs to be warmed up again.

Instead of pouring the sauce over the pasta, you can pour the pasta into the sauce and allow it to sauté for a minute. This allows the pasta to absorb more of the flavor.

The cheese is an ingredient, not just a finishing touch, and is important to the overall dish. Instead of the brands commonly found in supermarkets, you should only use a good quality cheese like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
