Pasta in Pan



It was never really a secret. Putting your cooked pasta into the pan with the sauce for a minute or two has been the suggestion of grandmothers and professional chefs alike since the beginning. But still, time and again, I see people mixing both later. Now, there are a few reasons why you wouldn't do it: you've got really fresh pasta that you don't want to overcook. You've got a 'sauce' that's not very saucy and you want the flavor of the pasta to stand out. You're from the South (of Italy) and you like to give people a spoon to mix their own pasta/sauce at the table. But other than that, here's some hopefully yummy pictures to get your appetite going. All photos here taken with a cannon powershot 950SI.
