5 Secrets to Perfect Pasta

By Chef Antonio • August 23, 2025 • 5 min read

Making the perfect pasta is more than just boiling noodles—it’s an art passed down through generations. Our chefs use tried-and-tested techniques to ensure every dish is rich in flavor, texture, and authenticity.

1. Always Salt the Water

Your pasta water should taste like the sea. This simple trick enhances the flavor of the pasta itself, not just the sauce.

2. Use Fresh Ingredients

Authentic Italian pasta relies on fresh tomatoes, basil, garlic, and olive oil. The quality of ingredients makes all the difference.

3. Don’t Overcook

Al dente is the key! Slightly firm pasta holds sauces better and provides the perfect bite.

4. Save the Pasta Water

A splash of starchy pasta water creates a silky sauce that clings beautifully to the pasta.

5. Finish in the Pan

Combine pasta and sauce in the pan for the final minute. This allows the flavors to marry perfectly.
