Cooking Tips and Tricks

Optimal Pasta Cooking: Ensure perfectly cooked pasta by following the instructions on the Ronzoni Gluten-Free Penne Rigate box. Be mindful not to overcook the pasta, as it can become mushy.
Draining Feta Cheese: Draining the liquid from the Feta cheese over the sink prevents any excess moisture from diluting the sauce, ensuring a rich and creamy consistency.
Adjusting Sauce Thickness: If you prefer a thicker sauce, opt for diced tomatoes without draining them. For a thinner consistency, drain the tomatoes before adding them to the pan.
Enhancing Flavor: Experiment with adding additional ingredients such as fresh herbs like basil or oregano, a dash of red pepper flakes for heat, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness to elevate the flavor profile of the dish.
