Tips

  • The term 'mirepoix' refers to 50% onion, 25% celery, and 25% carrot.
  • When dicing onion, slice it to the thickness of the finished dice, then turn 90 degrees and follow the curvature of the onion.
  • For celery, split it down the middle before dicing.
  • For a restaurant-style finish, melt butter into the pasta off the heat.
