How to make it

  • To prevent the pasta from sticking together, be sure to use
  • plenty of water and stir the pasta when first adding it to the
  • boiling water.
  • To prevent soft, mushy pasta, do not allow the pasta to be in the
  • water any longer than necessary by adding it only when the water is
  • at a full boil and by keeping it at a steady boil throughout the
  • cooking time.
  • Adding salt to the water when cooking pasta will help firm the
  • pasta and bring out its flavor.

    Yes Deb,
    The olive oil works very well. Before cooking and after cooking together. Thanks for the additional tips :)

    I also put in a little olive oil in the water to help with sticking. Another great tip is to add a little bit of chicken bouillon when using your pasta with chicken sauces. This gives the pasta a great flavor!
