Health/Cooking Tip
1.You can add different types of mushrooms/sun dried tomatoes/chicken to this recipe for more flavour/variations.
2.If using mushrooms, peel off the top skin/layer of the mushroom and gently clean all the dirt from it by using a damp cloth/napkin and make sure its cleaned properly.Avoid washing the mushrooms as it would absorb a lot of water like a sponge and that would change the flavour and texture of the dish.
3. Cook the pasta 1-2 min less than the packet instructions for the perfect texture.
4.Use whole wheat/any other good quality whole grain pasta/homemade pasta for added health benefits instead of the ones made with refined flour.
5.You can also use different varieties of whole wheat pasta such as fettucini ,linguine etc instead of spaghetti .
