An inexperienced cook It is a pity, that he was not a lover of food preparation. Of course, like you, I love good food, but I don't like to prepare it. Of course, that's something I've recently decided to change. For example, today I helped my wife I will prepare a plate of spaghetti. Yes, I know that for any housewife it's not much of a science, but for me, whose court was always the street, it's quite a challenge. When my wife saw the pot full of boiling water at the top she scolded me saying, it's too full and it will spill over when you pour the pasta in. I smiled and told her, don't worry. Keep doing your business. You'll see! My secret. Watch videos on the internet and follow the basic recommendations. Boil the water (one liter per 100 grams of pasta), add salt to taste, add the spaghetti and stir gently for 12 to 14 minutes. A complete success. My wife finished the mission by preparing the sauce and seasoning. We all ate well. Even my son, who is a picky eater, praised the texture of the pasta. Of course, I will never intend to compete with my wife. She is the family Chef and I am her apprentice and occasional helper.
