SAVE A CUP OF PASTA WATER

Perfect your pasta sauces every time you’re rustling up a hearty pasta dish by saving a cup of your pasta cooking water. Once you’ve mixed your pasta and sauce together, only add the reserved water if your dish seems a bit too dry.

STIR UP A SMOOTH, SILKY SAUCE

A good pasta sauce is smooth, not watery or stodgy. This addition will add a silky richness to your sauce and the salt lends extra flavour. Add just a spoonful of pasta water at a time until it’s perfect. The sauce should cling delightfully to the pasta.
