To Serve
Pasta Dinner
- In a large sauce pot, bring a gallon of water to boil with a 2 tablespoons of kosher salt for each pound of pasta to cook.
- Cook the pasta while maintaining a strong simmer, not a rapid boil. Cook the pasta for at least 5-6 minutes (fresh pasta takes less time then dried) however as fresh pasta is store it loses moisture and will possibly take an additional minute or so to cook, check one piece after 5 minutes and test for doneness, strain using a colander, but reserve some of the pasta water to finish the sauce.
- Heat sauce into a large saute pan or wide bottom sauce pot and heat on medium until the sauce begins to simmer (if using the pesto, be sure to keep on lower heat).
- Add pasta to the sauce pan and add some of the reserved pasta water (2-3 tablespoons) and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring the pasta and adding some whole butter or finishing olive oil if you desire.
- Divide the pasta into your serving dishes and garnish with the condiments of your choice.
