This is it! As fine a collection of recipes that can be cooked and served in a very small amount of time.

The culture of classicpasta.com has always been to keep everything as simple as possible without losing any of the wonderful tastes and delights of Italian cooking.

So here you go: first, always, get that pot of water (four-five quarts) on the stove and heading for a major boil. Heat the serving dishes. Then prepare the sauce as per the recipe. Salt the boiling  water and drop in the pasta. Stir. Cook to al dente, reserve some of the water, drain, add to the pasta, stir (using some of the reserved pasta water if needed), cover and turn up the heat to high for one minute. Steaming! Then serve on the heated plates. Presto: quindici minuti!
