Pasta Prep Idea

Are you making your own pasta sauce? If your answer is yes, here are some semi-secret tips to enhance your meal.

Bring it to a higher level!

Make the sauce one day before you plan on eating your pasta meal. All the vegetables you added to the sauce will absorb your seasoning overnight and the sauce will benefit from the vegetables with extra time too.

Assuming you cook some fresh pasta, our second tip is recycling some of the water used to prepare the pasta. As you reheat your rested and enhanced pasta sauce - on the stove, not in your microwave! - add a ladle or two of the pasta water and stir it in. Or sauté sauce in a pan with pasta pulled straight from whatever pot you cooked it in, bringing some water into your sauce.

A final touch is to add a bit of your chosen cheese (if you’re making a tomato-based sauce, of course!) into the sauce as you reheat it!

Now, plate your masterpiece and enjoy!
