Pasta is one of those dishes everyone thinks they know how to cook. You boil water, throw the pasta in, drain it, add sauce. Done, right? Not quite.
Pasta is simple, yes, but simple food leaves nowhere to hide. When something is off, you feel it immediately. The texture is wrong. The sauce slides away. The whole dish feels… flat.
After cooking pasta my whole life and eating it more times a week than I probably should admit, I can tell you this, most pasta disappointments come down to a few very common mistakes. The good news is they are easy to fix once you know what to look for. Let’s break them down.
