Notes

Cooking Tips of Spaghetti with Condensed Milk:

  1. Balancing the Sweetness: Spaghetti with condensed milk is known for its unique sweetness. To strike the right balance, start by adding a portion of condensed milk and then adjust to taste. You can always add more if you prefer it sweeter, but it's challenging to reduce sweetness once it's added.
  2. Tasty Toppings: Enhance the flavor of your spaghetti by adding toppings like grated cheese, chopped fresh basil, or a drizzle of olive oil. These simple additions can take your dish to the next level.
  3. Perfectly Cooked Pasta: To achieve that ideal al dente texture for your pasta, follow the cooking instructions on the pasta package carefully. Remember to salt the boiling water before adding the pasta for extra flavor, and be sure to rinse the pasta with cold water after draining to stop the cooking process and prevent clumping.
