By this is a dish that has become very easy to make for me. The only thing I have to do is chop the fresh herbs and add fresh tomatoes to a pot of simmering water. I throw in some red and green bell pepper, some fresh basil, and a handful of fresh mozzarella. I add in a little stock from the last time I cooked the pasta, and voila! The whole thing cooks in about 30-45 minutes.
I can’t do this, but I can cook the pasta and add some red bell pepper, basil, mozzarella, and fresh basil in a little bit of stock.
The real question is, can you make this dish faster? I’m not sure I can, but I’m sure it will taste good and it will be very easy.
A long time ago, when I first started cooking pasta, I put my pasta in boiling water and let it cook for about 5 minutes. Then I added in the pasta’s stock, a handful of red bell peppers, some fresh mozzarella, and a few basil leaves. It seemed like a good time to test the pasta’s al dente, as it was still somewhat wet.
I’ve done this recipe a few times since then, and I’ve never gotten it perfect, so I decided I’d give it a try again. After all, it’s my very first pasta recipe. It’s definitely a bit rough around the edges, but it tastes delicious, and it’s a great way to use up a few old veggies (and be able to use some extra basil).
Pasta al dente is a method for preparing dried pasta, or pasta in its dry form. The dried pasta is cooked in water until it becomes soft, then the water is discarded and the pasta is cooked in the usual way. Because pasta al dente is cooked for a while, the texture is less loose and more like a smooth, soft pasta.
A good way to save money or a great way to use up those little vegetable scraps that are still in the fridge or freezer. A cheap way to use up some pasta scraps you can throw in the freezer.
Most people are probably familiar with the process, but there are others who are just starting to experiment with it. The best way I know to save money or use up your leftover pasta is to buy it pre-cooked. I’ve done this and it’s actually pretty cheap and easy. You can find pre-cooked pasta at most supermarkets and specialty stores.
While you can use up your leftover pasta in many ways, the easiest and cheapest way is to just throw it in the microwave for 15 seconds. Then you’ll just have leftover pasta. So if the cost of pre-cooked pasta is $1.00 and you want to get a cup of pre-cooked pasta for a dollar and throw it in the microwave, you can easily do that.
Pre-cooked pasta isn’t as easy to remove from the microwave as it sounds. I recommend using a sharp knife for cutting it. Since it doesn’t have to be sharp, it’s easy to cut it with a sharp knife.
