  • Next, Chris gives us a 101 on cooking al dente. (3:30)
  • A Tuscan detour reveals the proper way to sauce pasta – and a surprising, shared experience between our cohosts! (5:45)

  • Brooke cuts to the chase, explaining how to slice the perfect strands of Spaghetti alla chitarra. Try saucing it with cheesy, peppery cacio e pepe. Yum! (15:54)
