Cooking Tip
Cooking Pasta
For a more quick boil for your pasta water, take a lid and cover the pot while you are waiting for the correct boiling temperature. Don’t cover the pot while you are cooking your pasta or you will not have pasta with the correct firmness.
Cooking Tip
Store Bought Pasta Sauce
Branch out with your store bought alfredo sauce. Try the sundried tomato version or the alfredo with mushrooms already in it. The possibilities are endless with this simple dish. You can even substitute Vodka sauce or any variety of spaghetti sauces that you’d like to.
