Notes
When boiling macaroni, add them into boiling water. Boil the water first then add macaroni. You can also use milk to boil your macaroni.
Always remember that fresh herbs are for finishing. Fresh parsley should be put last. Do not overcook your herbs for a better taste and to preserve nutrients in these herbs.
