Pasta dinners and baked pasta recipes

Get the sauce ready to receive the pasta, and reserve cooking water before draining when the recipe calls for it. A skillet sauce and a baked pasta use different finishing techniques. For a bake, check both the pasta texture and the center temperature; browned cheese alone does not establish that the middle is hot.
