Cooking tips

Instead of pouring sauce over pasta and mixing, toss the sauce and pasta together in the pan for 1–2 minutes so the pasta properly absorbs the seasoning.
Lightly sautéing fresh basil in oil eliminates the canned aroma typical of store-bought sauce and brings out a fresh Italian flavor.
