Notes
- Cooking pasta – I cook pasta until soft but not too mushy. I check in between so it does not overcook and lose shape.
- Cooking vegetables – I cook vegetables only for few minutes so it stays little crunchy. Overcooking will make it soft and not good in texture.
- Adding salt – I always check salt before adding at the end. Pasta already has salt so I add little slowly.
- Sauce consistency – I add water little by little to adjust the consistency. I do not make it too dry or too watery.
- Mixing – I mix pasta gently at end so it does not break. I also sometimes add little butter at last for extra taste.
