Don't make the beginner's mistake of draining your pasta through a colander. Create restaurant-style pasta -- and win rave reviews from dinner guests.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A saucepan
Sauce
Pasta
A skimmer
A ladle
Butter
Olive oil
Grated parmesan cheese
Fresh basil or parsley

Step 1: Heat sauce

Heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat while the pasta is cooking.

Step 2: Remove pasta from water

Remove the pasta from the hot water with a skimmer -- a flat, slotted utensil -- once it has finished cooking. Reserve the water for later.

Step 3: Add pasta to sauce

Add the pasta to the sauce and mix. Heat the pasta and sauce together for one minute.

Tip: Don't "oversauce" your pasta -- use just enough to coat the noodles evenly.

Step 4: Add starchy water

Add half a ladle of the starchy water to the saucepan and mix. Starch water gives your sauce a good consistency and keeps your pasta moist.

Step 5: Add fat

Turn off the heat and add a small scoop of butter and a dash of olive oil and mix.

Step 6: Add cheese

Grate a handful of parmesan cheese and mix it through the pasta.

Step 7: Add herbs

Mix in basil or parsley just before serving. Ring the dinner bell quickly so everyone can enjoy your creation while it's hot.
