Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by boiling a big pot of salted water and cooking my rotini pasta according to the package instructions—usually about 8–10 minutes. I like to cook it al dente because it will continue cooking in the skillet later. Once drained, I set it aside, and the aroma of the cooking pasta fills my kitchen, creating a lovely warm scent that I enjoy. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
