      RECIPE TIPS

      • Use enough cold water so once the pasta begins to cook and expand, there’s lots of room for the noodles to move freely.
      • You want the water to be hot before cooking the noodles properly. Noodles that are added too soon will be soggy not properly cooked.
      • As soon as you drop your pasta in the water, stir it. This stops the pasta from sticking together,
      • A pair of tongs is very handy for tossing your pasta and shrimp.
