Perfect Your Pasta
No cheesy pasta is complete unless it''s perfectly prepared. Follow these dos and don''ts to get your pasta just right:
Do use lots of water. The ideal amount is 4 to 6 quarts per pound of pasta. This allows the pasta enough room to cook without sticking together.
Don''t add oil. If you have enough water, you won''t need to add oil to prevent sticking.
Do stir pasta when you first add it to the water to prevent it from sticking together and to the bottom of the pot.
Don''t throw pasta against the wall. Instead, use the cooking time on the package as a guide, then try a piece to see if it''s the right texture. Italians like their pasta "al dente" (a little chewy), but you might like it softer.
Don''t rinse cooked pasta; you''ll rinse away the starch, which actually helps the sauce stick. Only rinse pasta if it will be used cold, such as in a salad.
Boil 6 cups water in saucepan. Stir in shell pasta; cook 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta. Do not rinse. Return to pan. Add cheese sauce and seasoning; mix well. Add chicken to prepared pasta.
Boil 6 cups water in saucepan. Stir in shell pasta and jalapeños; cook 8-10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta and jalapeños. Do not rinse. Return to pan. Add cheese sauce; mix well. Add bacon to prepared pasta.
