How to Enjoy Fresh Pasta at Home

Cooking fresh pasta at home can be easy and rewarding with our chefs’ tips. First, use plenty of salted water when boiling the pasta. Fresh pasta cooks faster than dried, so keep an eye on it. For the best results, mix the pasta with sauce right after draining.

Try recreating our Classic Carbonara or Crab Meat Pici for a restaurant-quality meal. With quality ingredients and careful attention, you can bring the LIVIN’Italy experience to your kitchen.
