A few Tips when making his vegetarian mushroom and spinach rigatoni recipe

When cooking pasta  for this vegetarian mushroom and spinach rigatoni recipe, salt the water before bringing the water to a boil. The water should be boiling rapidly before dropping the pasta.

I used  rigatoni a short hollow noodle, you can use any  shape pasta or flavor pasta you like.

It’s also easier if the pasta water pan is on the back burner and the saute pan on the front one.

I  like this 8 quart stock pot for pasta and soups. Use a large enough saute pan  so you don’t crowd the pan.

In the restaurant we precooked our pasta halfway and ran it under cold water to stop the cooking process, when we had an order we put the pasta in a strainer, dropped in boiling water, it taste like it was just cooked .

You can use the same process at home, if you cooked to much it stays fresh for 1 to 2 days.

.The whole idea behind food and creating recipes is to experiment and have fun doing it…..!!!!!Happy day
