When I make pasta for dinner, Tom is always happy. Somehow, the sizzle of garlic and the pour of the starchy pasta always coincides with him coming home for dinner. Pasta also is special to me because growing up my mom would make it for dinner on a special day. Little did I know it was because it was easy for her when life was crazy. Either way, both Tom and my mom are super special to me and because of that, pasta always makes me smile. I hope this 15 minute recipe give you joy and also a little more time for yourself.

4 Tips on How To Cook Pasta Like A Pro At Home:

1. Salt the pasta water with 2 tablespoons of salt. Then taste the water. If it does not taste salty keep adding it until tastes like the sea. This will insure the inside of your pasta is seasoned well.

2. Cook the pasta 1 minute less then package instructions. Your pasta will have a wonderful bite and taste bud happy texture.

3. Mix the pasta in the pot with the sauce for 1 minute. This will help marry the two together.

4. Save 1/2 cup pasta water. This starchy salty liquid will help make the sauce more fabulous. Add to the pasta and sauce at the end to add more depth and flavor.
