Cooking Basics - Pasta

Learn how to cook pasta, and you can make a quick and cheap dinner by adding a jar of sauce!

Ingredients

• Pasta (any shape!)
• Salt
• Optional: Olive oil (if you want to meal prep)

Method

1. Fill a saucepan with water and add a pinch of salt. Set on high heat and leave to come to the boil.
2. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add your desired amount of pasta (more if you want to meal prep) and boil as per the pasta packet instructions (but usually 10-12 minutes). You can mix midway through to ensure it doesn't stick together.
3. Once your pasta is cooked, remove from the heat and drain in a sieve. It is ready to serve!
4. Optional: add a splash of olive oil to the cooked pasta to stop it from sticking together when you store it.
