Pasta & soups

Save a cup of pasta water. You will want it.

Tessa is happiest with a pot on the stove. Pasta, soup and a tray of roasted vegetables cover most of what she wants to eat in a week.

She likes recipes that explain the small moves: when to add the garlic so it does not burn, why the starchy water matters, how to tell that potatoes are ready to come out.

She edits the pasta, soup and side dish recipes, and adds storage and reheating notes to each one because leftovers are half the point.
