  • Season Your Food: Don't be afraid to season your food with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help bring out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
  • Cook Pasta Al Dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking chicken or vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: A heavy-bottomed pan will help distribute heat evenly and prevent food from sticking.
  • Garnish Your Dish: Before serving, garnish your dish with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
