Serving Suggestions

You can serve pasta with a variety of side dishes. Two of my favorites include Mediterranean salad and burrata with peach and tomatoes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of pasta should I use?

You should choose the pasta according to the recipe you’re making. For example, if it’s a saucy recipe, rigatoni works well and for simpler recipes, spaghetti works great.

How long does cooked pasta keep?

It’s best to store the pasta in an airtight container. You can refrigerate it for up to 3 days.

What’s the best way to reheat pasta?

Place the pasta in a pan or a saucepan. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water and cover with a lid.

    We eat pasta at least once a week and seem to be in a rut so this post is perfect. I’ve got the Parmesan Chicken pasta for tomorrow and a few more lined up too.
