      Notes
      Salt your pasta water moderately. This is your first chance to season your          10 Minutes
      pasta and it's a very important step! If you are not salting your pasta water
      - please start now! Add about 2-4 tablespoons of Kosher salt after the
      water comes to a boil and before you add the uncooked pasta. You will be
      AMAZED at how much more flavorful the pasta and the entire dish is!
                                                                                          Servings
      Toss pasta in olive oil, salt, and pepper. After straining the al dente pasta,
      give it a quick toss in olive oil with a couple pinches of salt and pepper.         12-14
      This ensures that the noodles won't stick together and it will help the
      dressing find it's way into every nook and cranny of the noodles.       Weekly Reunion Recipes  |   36
