Keeping Pasta Warm

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: Here is a hint that I have used for years: While boiling pasta, I take the bowl that I plan to serve the finished pasta dish in and fill it with hot water straight from the kitchen faucet. I let it sit next to the sink on a trivet.

Once the pasta is cooked, I pour it into a strainer in the sink, letting the water drain out. Meanwhile, I dump the water out of the serving bowl and wipe all remaining water out before adding the pasta and sauce. I now have a warm bowl, which keeps the pasta from cooling as we eat dinner.
