Pasta is easy to cook and easy to love. With different shapes and sizes, it’s enjoyable and you can never go wrong. For healthy pasta dishes try using whole wheat pasta, lots of vegetables and low fat protein ingredients.
Always cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water. To prevent boiling over, the pot should be large enough so it is only ¾ full.
Never: Add oil to cooking water. This has been one of my many mistakes. The oil tends to cling to the pasta when drained and the sauce can slip off more easily.
Tips:
• Salt the water just before adding the pasta.
• Taste the pasta to see if it is done rather than depending on recommended times. It should be tender and not mushy. If you do happen to add oil, by mistake your pasta will by slimy and mushy.
• Drain pasta well but do not rinse it. Rinsing prevents the pasta from sticking to the sauce nicely. Toss immediately with sauce.
