Should you add olive oil to cooking water to prevent pasta from sticking? Throw pasta at the wall to see if it's ready?
Even if you know that both tricks are not advisable, you may still learn something from a useful free brochure that's being offered, "Pasta 101."
Billed as a guide to identifying and cooking quality pasta, the color-illustrated brochure has been produced by Barilla. It's available for cooks to download at www.barillaus.com, or by calling (800) 922-7455.
