Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pasta: Spaghetti is the classic choice, but you can also use linguine, fettuccine, or any other long, thin pasta.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: This means cooking it until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and cheese will give your sauce the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When cooking the sauce, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the sauce from cooking evenly.
  • Add the Pasta to the Sauce: Once the sauce is cooked, add the pasta to the pan and stir to combine. This will help the pasta absorb the sauce and flavors.
  • Serve Immediately: Pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help prevent it from getting soggy.
