A few Basic's you need to know :-)

How to cook:

Pasta - Use a large pot, add boiling water (enough to more than cover the pasta and a bit extra) and about a large teaspoon of salt and a drop of oil. Bring to boil. Add your pasta and stir just enough so that they don't stick together. Cook until al dente meaning not sloppy but still firm. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside ready to add your sauce - easy

Rice - Normal white rice you can use a medium pot, add about a cup of rice for 2 to 3 people ( make extra as it keeps nicely in the fridge too ) add a large teaspoon of salt and cover the rice with the boiling water. Use plenty of water so as not to burn the rice. Cook until soft when pinched, drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside ready for the rest of your meal. If you require warm rice then leave the rice in the colander and place over a pot with about 2cm of boiling water to steam for a while.
