Reserve about 2 cups of the pasta water and reduce it down to a syrupy state. From there you can add your sauce and stir it in. The result is your sauce becoming very velvety and the pasta well coated. I started doing this one trick that has made every pasta dish better.

A hearty pasta works better in baking versus something that is really ment for soups. I would also suggest to be aware of the type of pasta you are using and it’s purpose.

It will not prevent sticking of the pasta after it is cooked. To prevent sticking you can toss it with a little olive oil after it is cooked if you are not putting it in or with a sauce. Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

May I add one important step my Italian Mom in Law from Tuscany taught me: Always give a generous stir right after you pour the pasta into the boiling water. Don't ask me why :-) thanks! Gabi. Zesty!
