The Art of Cooking Pasta

If there is just one essential to master in the kitchen, make sure it is this; a foundation to many Italian dishes.

Now in spite what it says on the packet, there is an art in cooking pasta perfectly. Master this and your pasta dishes will be as good as, if not only better than anything you've had from an Italian restaurant.

If like me, I'm very fussy when it comes to pasta. Pasta can make or break a dish. Cook pasta perfectly and you're in food heaven. Cooked incorrectly and the dish is not worthy of eating.

I was lucky enough whilst living in Italy to have the guidance of masters.

If using packet pasta..and out there, there are so many different types and varieties...
