### 3 Helpful Cooking Hacks: ### 1. Use a Strainer to Drain the Pasta: - **Why?** Shaking the colander can cause the strawberries to fall out with the water. - **How?** Place a metal strainer over a large bowl and pour the strawberry-pasta mixture into the strainer. The water will quickly pass through, and the strainer will catch the solids. Gently press the solids against the strainer to release any remaining water. ### 2. Quickly Rinse the Strawberries in a Colander: - **Why?** Submerging the strawberries in water can make them soggy. - **How?** Place the strawberries in a colander and hold it under running water for a few seconds. This will quickly rinse the strawberries without making them soggy. ### 3. Toss the Pasta and Strawberries in a Fying Pan: - **Why?** This helps to evenly coat the strawberries and intensify the flavors. - **How?** While the pan is still hot, add the strawberry-pasta mixture and toss it until the strawberries are evenly coated and have softened slightly, about 1 minute. ### 2 Easy Serving Suggestions: ### 1. Add a Dollop of Whipped Crème Fraîche or Sour Crème: - **Why?** This adds a creamy richness and tanginess to the dish. - **How?** Place a dollop of whipped crème fraîche or crème fraîche on top of each serving of strawberry-pasta. ### 2. Garnish with Chopped Basil: - **Why?** Basil adds a fresh, herbaceous note to the dish. - **How?** Sprinkle some freshly cut basil over the top of each serving. ### 1 Handy Leftover Suggestion: ### Strawberry Pasta Salad: - **Why?** This is a great way to turn leftover strawberry-pasta into a new meal. - **How?** Let the strawberry-pasta cool completely. You can then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you're ready to eat, add your favorite vinaigrette, top with some extra basil, and enjoy! ### 2 Final Plating and Presentation Pointers: ### 1. Use a Variety of Colors: - **Why?** This makes the dish more visually appealing. - **How?** Use a mix of ripe, red strawberries, slightly underripe pink strawberries, and green basil leaves. ### 2. Arrange the Strawberries Artistically: - **Why?** This helps to emphasize the beauty of the strawberries. - **How?** Slice the strawberries into wedges or slices and arrange them on top of the strawberry-pasta in a visually appealing way.
