Re-heating Pasta the Easy Way

PublishedMarch 30, 2014June 1, 2015 UpdatedJune 1, 2015

Leftover pasta just doesn’t seem to taste as good as fresh! As an avid pasta fan (it’s my undisputed favorite food – oh, actually maybe potato chips, or chocolate… whatever!!), this frustrated me. It was also complicated for me to heat in the microwave… here’s a tip for heating it on the stove…

1. Take out leftover pasta, place on stove

2. Add milk (depending on how much pasta you’re heating – about half a cup). If you’re lazy and impatient like me, heat on high flame. For evenly heated pasta, cook on medium-low flame.

3. Stir occasionally until heated through.

4. Serve with a nice glass of chocolate milk. Enjoy and don’t binge (I think I did… )

The milk helps the pasta not dry out when you heat it on the stove. It adds a rich, creamy texture (plus some calcium) and is much healthier than frying to reheat, or using the microwave. It also masks the leftover texture and taste. It’s pasta freak approved….
