Tags: baking, Cooking, Cooking Tips, Food, Grilling, Kitchen Hints, Pasta, recipes, Salt

Add salt to boiling pasta water……

When you make pasta, salting boiling water will add flavor from the inside out. The rule is about 1-2 tablespoons for a large pot of water, stir it until it dissolves, and once boiling, add pasta. It sounds simple, and it is, but it will elevate the taste of your dish. Enjoy that pasta!
