- Add the rest of the fresh chopped parsley and black pepper on top and serve.
Notes
- Delicious with a crisp white wine. Buon Appetito.
- Al dente describes pasta, rice or beans that have been cooked so as to be firm but not hard. "Al dente" also describes vegetables that are cooked to the "tender crisp" phase - still offering resistance to the bite, but cooked through. The term "al dente" comes from Italian and means "to the tooth" or "to the bite", referring to the need to chew the pasta due to its firmness.
- Pasta that is cooked al dente has a lower glycemic index than pasta that is cooked soft.
- Buon Appetito!
