TIP:
To Cook Pasta, Add 1 tablespoon salt and 1 tablespoon oil to 6 quarts boiling water. Gradually add pasta and continue to cook at a slow boil until pasta is “al dente” or slightly firm to the bite. Pasta floats on top of the water as it cooks, so stir occasionally to keep pasta cooking evenly. When done cooking, drain in a colander.

 

For Spaghetti, Flat Noodles, and Macaroni, cook entire recipe as above.

 

For Lasagna, cook half the recipe at a time.
