Notes

**The cooking time of the pasta will vary depending on the type, or brand used. I recommend cooking it "al dente" as it is typically cooked in Italy, resulting in a sturdy pasta.

**You can serve it immediately to eat it hot, or wait for it to cool down and serve it as a pasta salad.

**This pasta perfectly pairs with spicy flavors. Add 2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to kick it up a notch!
