Pasta, Noodles, and Rice
Pasta, noodles, and rice are the fastest route to a dinner everyone eats without complaining. This collection gathers every recipe built on them: creamy alfredo, tomato penne, garlic noodles, fried rice, and pasta salad for lunches.
Each recipe includes the exact amount of pasta water or stock to reserve, so the sauce coats every noodle instead of pooling at the bottom.

Questions cooks actually ask
How much pasta should I cook per person?
Plan on 2 ounces dry per side serving and 3 to 4 ounces when pasta is the whole dinner. Every recipe lists the exact amount for its servings.
How do I keep fried rice from turning mushy?
Use cold, day old rice and a hot pan. The recipe explains the timing, but cold rice is the whole trick.
