- Use a good quality pasta: The pasta is an important part of this dish, so be sure to use a good quality pasta. Whole wheat pasta or penne pasta are both good choices.
- Season the pasta water: When you're cooking the pasta, be sure to season the water with salt. This will help the pasta to have more flavor.
- Reserve some pasta water: When you drain the pasta, be sure to reserve some of the pasta water. You can use this to thin out the sauce if it's too thick.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
