Are you bringing the water to a boil before you add your pasta?

[micael]

Yeah i bring the water to boil, ad a pinch of salt and some olive oil ...

Pasta with pesto sauce! simple and not so quick

You have a good taste Micael

A couple of advise !!!

First if you have a cattler you make the water boil on it 1 min.

Second you don't put the oil in the water because it is not good at all.

And third if you want it al dente then you keep it 3 mins less then they say in the box.

Then you add the souce in a pan, pesto on this case, add some olive oil and drop the pasta in and keep it for a min.

If you want put an extra you can boil a potato and cut it in really small cube( really small) and add them to the pasta al pesto.


Cheers guy and gals
