Fresh garlic imparts a wonderful flavor to Italian foods. A garlic bulb or head consists of 12 to 15 cloves, each encased in a papery skin. When buying fresh garlic, choose bulbs that are heavy, firm and plump. Store bulbs in an open container in a cool, dark place. When using the Garlic Press you'll find you won't need to peel the cloves before pressing.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pasta toss. Look for ripe vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and high-quality olive oil.
- Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is cooked through but still has a slight bite to it. This will help it hold its shape and flavor in the pasta toss.
- Don't overdress the pasta: A light coating of dressing is all you need to flavor the pasta without weighing it down. You can always add more dressing if needed.
- Serve the pasta toss immediately: Pasta toss is best served immediately after it is made. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Pasta toss is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a side dish. With its endless variations, there's a pasta toss recipe for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these pasta toss recipes a try.
