PREPARATION TIPS
- Continued
from the previous page...
- If the pasta is to be used as
part of a dish that requires further cooking, undercook the pasta
by 1/3 of the cooking time specified on the package.
- The only time you should rinse
pasta after draining is when you are going to use it in a cold
dish, or when you are not going to sauce and serve it immediately.
In those cases, rinse the pasta under cold water to stop the
cooking process, and drain well.
- For perfectly clean-cut slices
of cheesecake, briefly run a thin-bladed slicing knife through
an open flame, then cut. Wipe the blade and reheat between cuts.
- You can thicken a soup without
using flour and butter or eggs — just purée a portion
of the soup and stir it back into the pot.
