What to cook with pasta
Pasta is the fastest respectable dinner there is: twelve minutes to boil, and it welcomes any sauce, vegetable or protein you throw at it. A half-used box in the cupboard plus anything in the fridge is a meal.

Pasta cooking tips
- Salt the water properly — it is the only chance to season the pasta itself.
- Save a mug of pasta water: its starch turns any pan sauce glossy.
- Cook pasta 1 minute shy of the packet time and finish it in the sauce.
