  4. Because many of us have been boiling pasta since we learned how to cook—maybe even thanks to good ‘ole boxed Kraft Macaroni and Cheese—we might think we’re pros. However, on a recent trip to Academia Barilla, Barilla’s culinary school in Parma, Italy, I learned that there’s more of an art to making pasta than you may have thought. Chef Marcello Zaccaria shared many tips for making restaurant-quality pasta at home, from using julienned vegetables in dishes with long pasta and cubed veggies in dishes with short pasta to the notion that we should be tasting our pasta water to ensure it’s salted to perfection. However, there’s one mistake you might be making that could throw off your entire pasta recipe—and it’s a mistake made at the start of cooking. According to Marcello, your pasta-to-sauce ratio can really make or break the dish. So, there are two ratios you should live by. When you’re cooking a pasta dish with marinara, Alfredo, vodka, or any other sauce that’s not pesto, you’ll want to use an even 100 grams of dry pasta to 100 grams of sauce. If you have one, use a food scale to get a precise measurement, but if you don’t, 100 grams of dry pasta is about 1 cup and 100 grams of pasta sauce is about 1/2 cup. For pasta dishes made with pesto, you’ll use the same 100 grams of dry pasta, but only 50 grams of pesto—or 1/4 cup. To make the perfect bowl of pasta, you’ll cook your desired noodles in salted water—without breaking the pasta—according to package instructions. However, Marcello recommends pulling the pasta off the heat about one to two minutes before the package suggests for al dente pasta. That way, you can finish the pasta in the sauce on the stove unless you’re making a pesto dish. Pesto should never be heated on the stove, according to Chef Marcello, instead, cook the pasta all the way until al dente, drain it, and then add it to a separate heat-safe bowl with your pesto. Marcelllo recommends covering the bowl with plastic wrap or something else to seal it in, then shaking the bowl to ensure the pesto coats every noodle. It’s a simple trick, but it will take your pasta dish from an at-home meal to one that transports you to the streets of Italy.

  16. I'm so old that I remember when the Broadway mall in Hicksville (Long Island) was an open air shopping center, which they enclosed in 1968... probably around the time I remember us having to detour on the Grand Central Parkway because a section of it was being remodeled when my mom drove us home… Today I saw from a video on YouTube that they are going to partially demolish, redevelop, and "de-mall" the mall... And here we are 57 years later and they've been remodeling that same section of the Grand Central Parkway for the last few years, requiring detours at times. My mom would have laughed, unless she was stuck in traffic, in which case she would have said something sarcastic.
