Ever notice how the pasta dish you eat in an Italian restaurant is better than the one you make at home? No more! Here?s how to cook pasta like a pro. First, make a perfectly balanced sauce. Next, cook the pasta in salty water so the pasta itself is well seasoned. Finally, drain the pasta when it?s just tender and add directly to the pan with your sauce. Finish your pasta with chunks of creamy mozzarella and succulent shrimp. Suddenly, the corner Trattoria has nothing on you!
