Tips for making good pasta
- Use canned tomatoes: To enhance the flavor of the pasta sauce, you should choose canned whole tomatoes. Because these canned tomatoes are harvested and canned at perfect ripeness.
- Choose beef: When making spaghetti with beef sauce, you should choose the shoulder meat because this is the meat with the best flavor. The shoulder meat has a fat ratio of about 15-20%, which helps the meat to have a moderate tenderness and richness.
- Use spices: You can add marjoram leaves to spaghetti to create a special aroma, making the dish more attractive.
- How to boil delicious noodles: When boiling noodles, you should stir often so that the noodles are cooked evenly and do not stick together. You can try soaking the noodles in ice water after boiling for about 5 minutes so that the noodles are firm and delicious when eaten.
- Stew the meat for a long time: If you want the sauce to be more flavorful and delicious, try stewing the sauce for a few hours to let the ingredients blend together, thereby creating a flavorful spaghetti sauce.
