How'd it Taste?

I liked the vegetable rich dish, but adding a cup of pasta cooking water to the vegetable saute dish does not really constitute a "sauce".

Hi Linda. Making a silky sauce for pasta by adding back the pasta water is a time-honored technique. What you're doing is combining the starch in the water with the olive oil you've already put in the pan.

Hi Tamia, the sauce is referring to the vegetable sauté with the pasta water. Let us know how it goes if you try it!
