But before we move to the pasta recipes, here are some ground rules that we all should know in order to make an exceptionally good plate of pasta:
- But first, make sure you have followed these easy steps prior to those cheese-dipping pastas!.
– Look for quality.
- The quality and freshness of your pasta indicate that the final dish will be nothing but tastefully amazing!
- -Be generous with water.
- The water you keep for boiling should be enough to let the pasta swim in it freely. If there is less water, the pasta will most likely stick and clog.
- -Don’t hold it back with the salt.
- Make sure to add lots and lots of salt to the water, enough to make it taste like sea water.
- -Don’t be impatient.
- When cooking your pasta, make sure to let the water boil vigorously before you pour in your pasta shells.
- -Keep the oil away.
- Don’t and I repeat DO NOT, add oil in boiling water. It is often assumed that it lets the pasta from sticking together, but it’s time you know that it also lets the sauce from incorporating well with the pasta. And who wants that, right?
- -Cook the pasta al-dente.
- Make sure to not over boil the pasta.Time it according to the instructions on the package. Because overcooked pasta makes out for nothing but a mushy mess.
- -No rinsing what so ever.
- Yes, we want you to be clear on that. Do not ever attempt to rinse your pasta. It will rinse the pasta off starch, which I’m sure you know helps in holding the pasta and sauce together.
- In fact, keep half a cup of pasta water for the sauce. Yes, the leftover starchy water will help bind the sauce together.
- -Make sure to boil the pasta at the very end.
- Keep the sauce and garnish ready. Chuck in the pasta to boil minutes before you serve for dinner. Cook the pasta al-dente and with the help of tongs, add in directly from the pot into the sauce,stir and heat for a minute and Serve!
