Notes

  • Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to add a little more water when you add the pasta. The water should be just above the top of the pasta.
  • Stir regularly as the pasta is cooking for best results.
  • Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat thoroughly before eating.
