Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Chop and measure all of your ingredients before you start cooking, so that everything is ready to go.
  • Use a large pot: The pasta will need plenty of room to cook properly. A large pot will also help to prevent the water from boiling over.
  • Salt the pasta water: The salt will help to flavor the pasta and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions: Different types of pasta will have different cooking times. Be sure to follow the directions on the package to ensure that the pasta is cooked al dente (tender but still slightly firm).
  • Drain the pasta: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce: Return the drained pasta to the pot with the sauce and mix well to combine.
  • Serve immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to keep the pasta warm, place it in a covered dish in a warm oven.
