Recipe____ Ligurian Pesto with Spaghetti ___________________________________
Select the cookery method that you will use. Explain your decision.
Boiling method is used to cook the pasta and then pasta is stir fried.
Select the cooking times and temperatures that you will use. Explain your decision.
Cooking Duration: 30 minutes
Temperature: 350 degree Fahrenheit
Rationale: This temperature is optimal for achieving a perfect cook on the pasta.
Select the accompaniments which you will add to your dish. Explain your decision – how do the
accompaniments complement your dish?
Describe how you will select the ingredients that you need from stores. How will you check them for freshness
and quality?
Fresh pasta should exhibit a moist appearance and emit a delightful aroma. To preserve its
freshness, it's crucial to store it correctly. Store-bought fresh pasta might have a thicker consistency
compared to handmade or dried spaghetti; this thickness is intentional, designed to extend its
freshness. The finest pasta consistently maintains the ideal thickness, ensuring even cooking within
an appropriate time frame. High-quality pasta is characterized by its elasticity, compactness, and
strength, devoid of any starchy film on the surface after cooking.

Combine as one a balance of water and vinegar in a shower bottle. Protect this food cleaner in
the fridge (with a mark). Shower and wipe up spills as they happen.
Besides the normal cleaning, give your cooler a decent top to bottom cleaning occasionally with
our manual for refrigerator cleaning. Eliminate the drawers and racks to clean every one of the
secret surfaces and the entryway gasket. Fridges likewise benefit from an association makeover
to bring request and kill mess.
For a substantial dishwasher cleaning, tackle the tops and sides of the entryway, and eliminate
every one of the extras and removable parts and give them a decent scouring. Utilize a delicate
toothbrush to clean the shower arm and eliminate any flotsam and jetsam trapped in the
sprayers. At last, tackle any hard water stores by utilizing the vinegar cleaning strategy above,
yet supplant the vinegar with lemon juice.

The way to cleaning your burner is to be speedy. Before the food bits cook onto the surface, make certain
to clean them away. Subsequent to cooking and the burner is cool, give it a decent wipe down with a
universally handy cleaner showered on a moist material.
Splash burner stains in the most grounded cleaner your cooktop can deal with and let sit (counsel the
producer's directions for data about cleaners).
Utilizing a solitary edged scrubber, cautiously scratch garbage while holding the sharp edge at a 30-to 40-
degree point. Wipe the cooktop clean
