We all love to eat pasta, but how many of us know the perfect way of making it? Italians love their pasta and they are really particular about their texture, sauce, and cheese. My kids love to eat pasta and they prefer eating at home rather then eating at restaurants. Over the past several years I have developed a method which is foolproof for making a wonderful authentic Italian-style Pasta.
A few points to remember while making the perfect pasta-
- Take a big vessel for boiling the pasta.
2. Use salt in boiling water. Most people make the mistake of adding salt later. It's not the right way of making pasta.
3. Try to use homemade sauce with the freshest of tomatoes available.
4. Always use good quality olive oil and cheese for making the pasta. I mostly use a good quality parmesan cheese block and sometimes fresh mozzarella too.
5. If you have fresh basil leaves, use those too. That will make a lot of difference in the taste.
