Let’s be honest—we all love pasta. It’s comforting, versatile, and always a crowd-pleaser. But even the simplest dish can go sideways if a few common mistakes sneak into your kitchen routine.
Whether you’re cooking a solo meal or serving the whole family, mastering the basics can make all the difference. The good news? With Bregano’s premium pasta—made from 100% durum wheat semolina—you’re already halfway to pasta perfection.
Let’s break down the most common pasta pitfalls—and how to avoid them like a pro.
Salt isn’t just seasoning—it’s a game-changer. Forgetting to salt your water means the pasta will lack flavor from the inside out.
💡 Pro Tip: Add 2 tablespoons of salt for every 4 litres of water. This infuses your pasta with depth, not just relying on the sauce to deliver taste.
We get it—draining feels like the final step. But wait! That cloudy water is liquid gold.
Saving half a cup of pasta water and stirring it into your sauce makes it silkier and helps it cling to the pasta better—especially with Bregano’s penne, fusilli, or macaroni.
Don’t toss your leftovers! Pasta is incredibly versatile even the next day.
✔️ Toss it into soups
✔️ Whip up a pasta salad
✔️ Or reinvent it into a frittata
Just store it in an airtight container and enjoy a head start on your next meal.
Cheese is magic—but timing matters.
Adding cheese while the sauce is still on the heat can lead to a greasy, separated texture. Instead, remove the pan from heat and wait 30 seconds before mixing in your grated parmesan or cheddar. You’ll get a creamy, smooth finish every time.
Not all pasta shapes are created equal. And that’s by design!
Bregano offers a variety of shapes—each suited for different types of sauces:
| Sauce Type | Best Pasta Shapes |
|---|---|
| Thin sauces | Spaghetti, Angel Hair |
| Creamy sauces | Fettuccine, Tagliatelle |
| Chunky sauces | Bregano Fusilli, Penne Rigate |
Using the right shape means better texture, flavor, and sauce coverage.
