Peaches and cream, turkey and cranberry sauce and macaroni and cheese are famous food twosomes— pairs of foods that complement each other. Not all pasta dishes contain cheese, but the favorites of the countryside combine macaroni products with cheese and often also with meat
- For superior dishes, cook macaroni and spaghetti the correct way: Use plenty of water (for 8 ounces macaroni product, 4 servings, use 3 quarts). Too little water makes pasta sticky. Add ½ tblsp. salt to every 3 quarts water.
- Gradually add the pasta to rapidly boiling water—keep it boiling. Cook uncovered, stirring gently and occasionally with a fork, until pasta is tender but firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Cook a little less time if macaroni will be used in a casserole dish.
- Drain macaroni in strainer as soon as it is done. Rinse with cold water only if it is to be used in salad.
