What are some great toppings for pasta?
I’m a huge fan of topping most pasta recipes with parmesan cheese. This works for tomato pasta, mushroom pasta, and even just a simple sun dried tomato pesto pasta as well.
You can also top with onions, cilantro, cherry tomatoes and extra tomato sauce as well.
How hard is it to overcook pasta?
Here’s the deal. Overcooking pasta is actually really simple to do. Most people will want to test their pasta after a few minutes of cooking or baking it just to be certain that it’s not being overcooked.
If you’re boiling your pasta on the stove, just a few minutes of time is all you’re going to need. The easiest way to NOT overcook your pasta is to follow the directions and set a timer for accuracy.
