Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Spaghetti and Turkey Meatballs
Cook pasta only until it is slightly chewy ( What the Italians call al dente, or "to the tooth"). Always use plenty of water, and keep the water at a rapid boil-the pasta needs to move around as it cooks, to keep it from sticking together. Some cooks like to salt the water, but we find it tends to toughen pasta. Use a pinch of sugar instead, and salt before serving. After it's cooked, don't rinse it. The sauce will cling better to the residual starch, and the noodles will retain nutrients.
