5 Ways to Improve Any Pasta Dish, and 3 Ways to Ruin It

1) Use Spices

Oregano. Basil. Thyme. These are honestly some of your best friends when trying to add some excitement to your pasta dish. The best part is you can usually just eyeball it too to customize your own flavor.

2) Add Some Sugar to the Sauce

Sugar definitely sounds like a weird item to add to your pasta but, depending on what type of sauce you’re using, a lot of times a spoonful of sugar can actually bring out the flavor of it very well.

3) Fill The Bowl With Spiders

Spiders?? Oh my God, that’s awful. If you put spiders inside your pasta that will make it absolutely repulsive to any unfortunate soul seated at your dinner table.

4) Throw In Some Sort of Dairy

You can make your sauce very creamy and rich by adding even half a cup of milk or cream into the mix. Ricotta cheese is really good especially, so be sure to try it if you have some around.

5) Run It Over With Your Car

No good will come from running you pasta over with a car. It will both look and taste absolutely disgusting since you’ll be forced to pry it off the hot pavement.

6) Place the Pasta in North Korea

With one of the strongest and most unforgiving borders in the world, placing your pasta somewhere in North Korea is an awful and dangerous idea. No one will ever get a chance to eat it and you will likely never see it again, as brainwashed armed forces burn it under suspicion of western war propaganda.

7) Butter

Add just a bit of butter to your pasta sauce at the end for some extra flavor. A lot of professional chefs use this trick themselves and it really does make a more wholesome sauce.
