Chef Notes

​

1. Different kinds of pasta cook at different variations, so be sure to read the instructions on the back of the pasta container. If you like your pasta al dente then be sure to cook it according to your taste.

2. You’ll most likely have shells and pasta sauce left over. Store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
