It looks like you had two kinds of pasta in that dish. I like the idea of making it creamy by adding ricotta.Pasta (fusilli) with creamy broccoli. I made them creamy by adding some ricotta cheese.
Got it one, @taxlady .It looks like you had two kinds of pasta in that dish. I like the idea of making it creamy by adding ricotta.
I like that idea, of putting one in first so they each get the right cook time. I don't always follow the cook times, but at least I would know to put one in one or two or three minutes later.Got it one, @taxlady .Spirals and fusilli, I had both packets open and wanted to get them out of the way, same cooking times.
I do this often when I have open packets of pasta lying around with about only 100g of pasta in each one. Even if cooking times are different, I add one first and then the other, to ensure they each get their correct amount of minutes.

I don't have a problem with the cellophane bags. Maybe it's the brand I buy or maybe it's because I cut the cellophane bags open with scissors.How do you know which one goes in first? Once open I rarely keep the cello bags, they tear so easily. And if, as a lot of small shapes are, they are approx. the same size???? I would never remember the times, as many say "cook for approx. 6 to 8 minutes" ... Were mine ready at the 6? or the 8? - or more or less?
ahhh, very true that. Guilty! And when I do get a clean opening I can easily seal it back up with my little 'sealer' thingy, no spillage there! Otherwise it all goes into a ziplock bag.or maybe it's because I cut the cellophane bags open with scissors.
