Cook's Notes

Before cooking pasta, rub the sides of the post with little vegetable oil. This will prevent the water from boiling over in the pot. If you use garlic often, chop several heads of arlic at once. Place the chopped garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an airtight glass container. Store in the coldest part of the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
