DIRECTIONS

1.

Bring water to a rapid boil.

2.

Add pasta gradually to boiling water and stir gently.

3.

Return to boiling. Cook uncovered in water at a fast boil until al-dente (cooked just long enough to be firm, and not too soft). Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.  Do not overcook as this increases the volume of the pasta.  Drain pasta.

4.

Place in half-size steamtable pans (12"x 10" x 4"). For 50 servings, use 4 steamtable pans.

5.

Heat sauce thoroughly.

CCP:  Heat to 145 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process.

6.

Just before serving, add sauce to pasta. Toss gently to coat pasta. For best results, serve immediately or cover and place in warmer until ready for service.

CCP:  Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes.

7.

Portion with 4 ounce spoodle or #8 scoop (1/2 cup) per serving. Each portion provides 1 oz. eq. whole grain and 1/4 cup red/orange vegetable.

CCP:  Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 6 hours to 41 degrees or lower.
