Expert Tips

For a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil leaves.
Try to evenly cover the pasta with the tomatoes. This helps the pasta cook evenly under pressure.
Sprinkle each serving with shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced basil leaves for a pretty (and tasty) finishing touch.
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.
Serve spaghetti with a garden salad and Pillsbury™ French bread on the side for a filling meal.
