Tips
- Adding a wooden spoon inside the pot can help prevent the water from boiling over.
- Use pasta with ridges as it will usually hold the sauce better.
- Do not add pasta into the pot of sauce. Instead, pour the sauce into your bowl of pasta, little by little until it's coated the way you like.
- Save leftover sauce in a zip-lock bag and freeze it for next time.
