After a trip to Italy, I really fell in love with pasta Carbonara. Now I often make it and order it in various cafes. Another pasta that I really liked is with shrimp. I have tried various versions of this pasta - in tomato sauce, without sauce, with garlic and without it, but the most delicious is with garlic sauce based on cream.

How to boil pasta properly? Take a spacious saucepan, pour water at the rate of 100 grams of pasta 1 liter of water. The main thing is that the products float freely in the liquid. Add salt to taste. Bring the water to a boil. It is important to put the pasta in boiling water, otherwise they may stick together. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked or al dente (cooking time is always indicated on the package). Put the finished pasta in a colander and let the liquid drain. It is not necessary to rinse the finished pasta with water. If you do not plan to immediately mix the pasta with the sauce, then in order to avoid sticking hot pasta, you can send them from the colander back into the pan and add a teaspoon of olive oil (or a piece of butter)and mix gently.
