Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will make a big difference in the flavor of your pasta dish.
Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (still slightly firm to the bite).
Use a large skillet or pot: This will help to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
Add the pasta sauce to the skillet or pot with the pasta: This will help to evenly distribute the sauce and prevent the pasta from becoming dry.
Simmer the pasta and sauce for a few minutes: This will help to meld the flavors together.
Serve the pasta with your favorite toppings: Grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a drizzle of olive oil are all great options.
