Cooking Tip

Choose the Right Pasta Shape

While shaped pastas are better for chunkier sauces, long flat pastas are best with thin pasta sauces.

Cooking Tip

Do Not Rinse Pasta After Cooking

If you are making pasta for use with sauce, do not rinse after cooking, just drain pasta in a colander. Not rinsing leaves the starch intact on the outside on the pasta, which adds flavor, and allows the sauce to adhere more easily.
