Tips & Tricks

Don’t drain the spaghetti in a colander. Use tongs to transfer directly from the pan to the skillet. This prevents it from sticking and keeps it moist.

If you want to save time, shred the broccoli instead of cutting it. Don’t throw the stems away because you can use them to make a creamy soup with other vegetables.
