I'm making dinner as a surprise for my mom and it tells me how to make it on the box . help?

Question

do i put the tomato sauce in before i drain the spaghetti or during ?

Answer 1

You add the Sauce AFTER your Drain the spaghetti.

Also I hope you're not adding Just plain tomato sauce,.. it won't taste good, Add some Garlic or Garlic Salt, chopped up finely onions,  Grated Romano and/or Parmesan Cheeses, Oregano, & Salt & Pepper to taste. You may also want to add some cooked chop meat or italian sausage to the sauce. But You must Cook your Spaghetti First THEN add the sauce. UNLESS you're making Ziti or Lasagna, then you add the cheeses and sauce first. Good Luck  And No Matter how it turns out, Your Mom will Love it..  

Answer 2

after  

Answer 3

after.

Answer 4

drain the spaghtetti and make sure all the water is out and then put in the sauce.

Answer 5

That is super cute. Sauce is better the longer it cooks on low by the way, add some Italian seasoning to it, and some garlic if you want. You can Google how to chop garlic if you're not sure. Oh and tomatoes chunks are great too! If you put the sauce on during, it would just go down the drain like the water. i hope she appreciates and likes it!

Answer 6

Cover the spaghetti with the sauce.

Answer 7

Make sure you drain the spaghetti in a colander first. If you do not, you chance making texture of your sauce thin and watery.

Pour a little of the sauce into the bottom of the pot, put the spaghetti in, and mix.

Put the spaghetti onto a platter, and pour a little more sauce over it.

Put the extra sauce in a serving dish, or a gravy boat while it is still hot and place on the table.

Your mom is going to love dinner. Have fun.

After you drain the spaghetti

Answer 17

-Take a large pot, fill it 3/4 of the way up with water, add a tablespoon of cooking oil to pot, bring to a rolling boil.

-Put spaghetti into pot, stir, cook about 12 minutes-taste if done.

-Put your colander into sink, pour spaghetti in and drain, then lightly rinse your spaghetti with a little water, put spaghetti back into pot.

You have 2 options.  You can put your sauce over the spaghetti and mix, or put the sauce in a separate bowl and at your table, your mom can put her sauce on her own spaghetti.

Don't forget the parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top.

  

Answer 18

Put the tomato sauce in after you drain the water.

Do it before and you end up either eating noodle soup or draining the sauce.  Noodle soup is good, but not when making spaghetti.

Answer 19

After.

You drain the spaghetti (pasta), then put it back into the pot and add the (already heated) tomato sauce.

Answer 22

experiment and see - it doesn't matter if you get it wrong.  your mum will appreciate the thought and she also knows you will learn from your mistakes.

Answer 23

drain the noodles first or your sauce will be watery.  I would also add some 1/2 tsp oregeno, a dash of garlic and onion powder, and 1/2 tsp of basil.

Answer 24

After you drain add a little olive oil or butter and mix before adding the sauce.

Answer 25

after....cuz if you do you'd have some messed up tasting spaghetti....common sense?

Answer 26

I would suggest warming the sauce separately and keeping the noodles in the water till you are ready to serve.  Then using a noodle fork... looks like a very large spoon with fork tongs on it.... you pull out the spaghetti for each person and put the sauce on top.  this way you don't have to worry about the noodles getting dry while everything else is finishing up.

Answer 27

Put it in during.  That's what I would do.  You can do it however.  

Answer 28

after
