Cooking tips

It's best to make your own ground meat; store-bought ground meat is generally inferior to homemade. But remember: ground meat is not just meat, it's also fat. Ground meat alone is tough and dry.

It is best to use ground beef, pork has a very different taste and fat content.

It is better to use pasta made from durum wheat; the taste and consistency of the dish will be better, and the dish itself will be healthier.
