A wide skillet is the perfect size and shape for cooking pasta, even long spaghetti- the water comes to a boil much faster, there’s plenty of room for the noodles to move around, and the water (since there’s less of it) winds up starchier, which is a good thing if you need it for saucing your pasta. (Like cacio e pepe! Here made with pasta, butter, pepper and Pecorino Romano or Parmesan. Heavier on the pepe than this photo may indicate.)
Mmmm…. my kids fav. Clean spaghetti🤣😁
Ps I love your floors.
Yum!!!
I’ve been reading the dirty food book you kindly left on my desk! I’m going to give the sticky buns a go on the weekend and work ingredients of a couple others into my latest grocery run. Can’t wait. Thanks Julie 🙂
Yummy
I’m sooo adopting this tip
Awesome idea! And I just happened to get a 12.5” skillet for Christmas!
I never though of using a skillet for pasta, definitely going to have to try that! Do you use the same amount of water as a regular pot?
Don’t eat outside!
Looks yumm!!
I always learn from you. Thank you.
I’ve always done rice in one (or a frying pan as we call them over here) – turns out perfect every single time. Also useful for heating up hotdog sausages from cans or jars or fridge packs – the water boils fast and they don’t float around. You can fry your onions, remove to a plate, add water, boil it fast and then 5 mins later the sausages are ready!
Thank you for sharing. You are talented and I really like your recipes and advice.
It’s the only way I make pasta now 💕
