Who hasn't heard of the famous macaroni and cheese? If I were asked what kind of food reminds me of childhood, I would answer without hesitation: macaroni with cheese, baked in the oven.

Did you know that:

There are several different types of pasta shapes. The most popular are Macaroni, Penne, Tagliatelle, Gnocchi, Spaghetti, Farfalle, etc.

What are the secrets of preparing pasta?

To prepare the pasta without mistake, there are some rules that must be strictly followed:

  1. Do not put oil in the water in which the pasta is boiling. It is true that pasta does not stick if you put oil but the sauce does not penetrate!
  2. During boiling, the pasta should be completely covered with water. The basic rule is to put at least one liter of water per 250 g of pasta. You have to keep in mind that pasta increases in volume when boiling, so the dish in which it is boiled must be roomy.
  3. Salt the water in which the pasta boils. For one liter of water, it is necessary to put at least 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Allow the water to boil in a pot before placing the pasta in it.
  5. Respect the boiling time. The boiling time is written on each packet of pasta, depending on its type.
