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.
🫒 Olive Oil
- Use extra virgin olive oil for dressings and finishing, regular for cooking.
- Don't heat extra virgin olive oil past its smoke point (375°F / 190°C).
- Store olive oil in a dark, cool place — light and heat degrade quality.
Nutrition: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and polyphenol antioxidants.
Storage: Use within 6 months of opening. Store away from light and heat.
