    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.
