Pasta liquid

[sue_h]

I'm very new to TM and have loved cooking with it so far. Today I wish to cook Ragu (EDC) with the pasta added and just can't find out how to do this. I read in this forum that I add the same amount of liquid as pasta. Is it just water that I add to the Ragu, or do I use another form of liquid. Is it right to add the pasta (kids love the spiral so was thinking to add that) or is it better to still cook the pasta separate?

I would cook the ragu 1st keep it warm while you are cooking the pasta I would cook the pasta on the varoma setting for 10mins sspeed 2 then taste it if it to your liking strain , I always save  some  water just incase the sauce is too dry.

Sue there is a topic on this but I am not sure where it is. I think it was Caroline or Chelsea who came up with a way of doing it that worked out well.

Cathy came up with the tweak and you can find it here.

It is really hard to find using the search feature, but is a great tweak.  Perhaps one of the moderators (or Cathy) could put it in the mains section - "One Pot Spaghetti Bolognaise Tweak"??

Thanks for the link and advice. I'll give the one pot version a try next time. It sounds easy enough. I made the bolognaise on it's own with chicken that I minced. Or should I say my 7 year old made it. Tweaked it with a few fresh herbs and it was delicious.
