One-Pan Pasta and Other Cooking Tricks
Whether you know your way around the kitchen like a chef or are still perfecting toast, we all face our share of culinary conundrums.
Here’s a roundup of solutions to some common kitchen calamities:
Does your water boil over? Place a spoon across the top of the pot to keep it from boiling over.
Is your sauce lacking? Add a pat of butter to make any sauce more decadent.
Did you have a plating disaster? Serve your pasta family-style in one big platter and let guests serve themselves.
Do you have a disdain for doing the dishes? Try a pasta specifically made for one-pan cooking like Barilla Pronto. Ready in 10 minutes, it has a perfect al dente texture and leaves fewer dishes to clean.
