How to make restaurant quality pasta

One final note: the biggest difference in restaurant quality pasta and the pasta you make at home is how you finish and sauce the pasta. The best way to finish this specific sauce is to cook the pasta 1 minute before the time on the package, then drain the pasta and transfer to a non-stick skillet along with about 1/4-1/2 a cup of sauce per portion. Once the pasta is well sauced, add extra cheese and chili flakes as desired, and plate. Enjoy immediately.
