Put in the pasta and toss it and mix until it is well combined with the sauce. Put in a plate, serve and enjoy.
how can we know that the pasta is already cooked?
We taste the pasta in order to know if its cooked. You’ll know that the pasta is cooked when once you take a bite in it, it is mildly chewy and it doesn’t stick in your teeth.
can we use red onion instead of the white one?
Yes, but we preferred to use white onion because it has a milder taste. Red Onions have sharper taste and has a bit of sweetness that may add in some effect on the taste.
