Pasta Ingredients

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil Water

    Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    Once the water is boiling, add 1 kg of fresh pasta to the pot. Stir gently to prevent sticking and cook for about 2-4 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.

  3. 3

    Drain the Pasta

    Using a colander, drain the pasta and reserve a cup of the pasta water for later use.

  4. 4

    Add Olive Oil

    Return the drained pasta to the pot. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the pasta, tossing to coat evenly.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the pasta and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves before serving.
