Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make all the difference in the taste of your Italian macaroni. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, and a good quality olive oil.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a large pot: You'll need a large pot to cook the pasta and sauce. A pot that is too small will make it difficult to stir the pasta and sauce and could result in a clumpy mess.
  • Season the sauce to taste: Be sure to taste the sauce before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese: A sprinkling of Parmesan cheese adds a delicious finishing touch to Italian macaroni.
