Cook Pasta the Right Way
Perfect pasta starts with plenty of water. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil before adding your pasta. Add salt to the water to enhance the flavor. Stir the pasta during the first few minutes to prevent sticking.
Cook the pasta for the time shown on the package. Taste it near the end of the cooking time. The ideal texture is al dente, which means the pasta stays firm when you bite it.
Before draining the pasta, save a cup of the cooking water. Add a small amount to your sauce if needed. The starch in the water helps the sauce coat the pasta evenly.

Choose the Right Sauce
Every pasta shape works best with certain sauces. Long pasta, such as spaghetti and linguine, pairs well with smooth tomato or olive oil sauces. Short pasta, including penne and fusilli, holds creamy sauces and vegetables very well.
Fresh herbs, garlic, olive oil, cheese, and vegetables add natural flavor. You can also include chicken, seafood, or lean beef for a complete meal.
