Well, now that I've officially started this new blog. I thought the best way to celebrate is to give my new friends a little tip on how to succeed at a good Italian meal. (Americanized of course)
Tip #1 When making pasta, ignore the whole aldenta thing. The best pasta that my Momma served was always cooked completely through. Not aldenta. I think most of my friends believe that they are cooking it with a little bite, but it ends up being too much of a bite. Just cook it till it till you taste it and you like the texture.
Tip#2 Always take some spoonfuls of the water that the pasta is cooking in and add it to your sauce. It's amazing what the highly starchy water will do to the consistency of your sauce. Yummm
Tip #3 Never serve your pasta separate. Add the sauce! People who serve the sauce and pasta seperate are nuts. My Momma would give me an individual plate of buttered pasta to get me going, but never placed a separate bowl on the table. The sauce usually has the rest of your balanced meal in it. Do not do this. Please!
I will keep all my friends posted to my new feeds on twitter and hope to have contests and sweeps for all to enter. :)
I never do what you said above except i do put the noodles and sauce together when I make it ahead to take camping, but I will try it for sure, seems to make more sense
