Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.
  • tip 2
    Try to evenly cover the pasta with the tomatoes. This helps the pasta cook evenly under pressure.
  • tip 3
    Sprinkle each serving with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced basil leaves for a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch.
  • tip 4
    Make sure your pasta is evenly covered with tomatoes. This helps the pasta to cook consistently under pressure, so you don’t end up with any over- or undercooked noodles.
  • tip 5
    Serve spaghetti with a garden salad and Pillsbury™ French bread on the side for a filling meal.
