You’re in Love. That’s Great! But the man or woman of your dreams is a pasta fanatic and being the wonderful prospective mate that you are, you want to prove your worth. Okay, now what? You can’t get lazy and think that by sending over a wine basket with Italian food will do the trick. I have all the right answers. I am the king of pasta lovers, therefore, my advice on the subject will prove invaluable. Just listen and follow along.

Rule #1 No Artificial Ingredients

Nothing that doesn’t come from the ground should go in the sauce. If you serve jarred sauce, you are asking to be dumped. It’s the worst thing you can do. After all, it’s just too simple to make a real natural dish of pasta from scratch to have to resort to such foolish measures. In less than a half hour you can prepare your own from scratch. So why would you want to take a chance by serving some truly yucki jarred sauce. It makes no sense.

Rule # 2 Pasta Needs To Be Cooked Just Right

You may not get this one right on the first shot, but it’s not too difficult. No one, especially a pasta aficionado likes when they are presented with a beautiful dish of pasta only to discover it is as mushy as Elmer’s Glue. There is no saving a meal when the pasta arrives tasting like mush.

There is a flip side to that coin. Don’t serve under cooked macaroni either. When I taste pasta that is under-cooked even worse, stuck together and hard, I want to immediately get up and leave. I HATE THAT.

The only way to measure if the pasta is cooked is by tasting it. Only by eating it will you get the exact doneness. Don’t waste your time or your pasta on any other method. Taste it.

Rule # 3 No Cheese From A Can

Yeah, I know, you’re in a hurry, but that is no excuse. The quality is just not there. Just go the extra mile, buy a good quality cheese and do your own grating. The freshly grated cheese will add that extra touch that will say to your perspective mate “He (or she) is the one for me.

Everything I mentioned here today is serious. It’s serious business to a pasta lover. If you are serious about snagging that man or woman of your dreams you should heed my advice. Is this voodoo magic that is guaranteed to work? Not necessarily. But put yourself in their shoes. Who would your rather have as a mate? A woman (or man) who makes gooey pasta and serves it with jarred sauce and cheese from a can? Or the woman or man whose pasta dish says “I Love You” because I chose to do it the right way, the way you like it, the way it should be done?

The answer is clear.
