Cooking Tips
🍝 Pasta
- Salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- Save a cup of pasta water before draining to thicken your sauce.
- Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says for perfect al dente.
Nutrition: Good source of complex carbohydrates and B vitamins. Whole wheat adds fiber.
Storage: Dry pasta lasts 1-2 years. Cooked pasta keeps 3-5 days refrigerated.
🧈 Butter
- Use unsalted butter for cooking so you can control the salt level.
- Brown butter in a light-colored pan so you can see the color change.
- Clarified butter has a higher smoke point and won't burn as easily.
Nutrition: Source of vitamin A and healthy fats in moderation. One tablespoon has about 100 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 1 month, or freeze for up to 6 months.
