Cooking Tips for Pasta and Noodles. How to Enhance Taste?

4. Soon after you cook and drain the pasta, place the pasta under a direct flow of water from a tap. Your pasta won’t be overcooked or turn pasty.
5. While frying vegetables for noodles, use ghee instead of vegetable oil to add an Indian desi touch to your dish.
