HAVE SOME PASTA TIPS BB:

1. Always cook in a little more water than you think you need and RESERVE A HALF CUP OF YOUR PASTA WATER BEFORE TAKING THE PASTA OUT

2. Salt your pasta water, and use oil or real butter to keep the noodles from sticking once you drain.

3. Drain your pasta when it's a little shy of being done, and finish cooking your pasta in the pasta sauce.

4. Not really a tip, but bucatini is an underrated noodle.

Peep this brown butter lemon pasta I made:

Ok so a lot of people don't know how to reheat pasta in the microwave properly

Put the pasta into your bowl or plate or whatever you're eating it out of, and put a TINY bit of water in

Like under the sink turn on the tap the moment it touches the pasta turn it off

It'll keep it from getting that weird gross texture

Here is a helpful internet recipe since my family doesn’t use real measurements but I’ll give you some pro tips:

- Low and Slow cooking the onions is key!! This is where the sweetness and flavor comes from. Any burn or crisping of the onions throws off the taste.

- Freshly made tomato sauce will elevate the flavor, try to either make some yourself or use some from your fav local Italian spot

- If you’re not already cooking your pasta al dente, please starts immediately

- (my personal fav) after you strain the pasta and before you add it to the sauce, mix the cooked pasta in the pot with a handful of parm or pecorino! It’ll help the sauce stick to your pasta better and adds some cool texture to the pasta.

Yes!

Don't rinse your noodles when you drain, and toss them with olive oil or softened butter to add flavor and keep the noodles from sticking together.
