I only have 1 pot. Heat the pasta or the sauce first?

Current Events

Depends if its long pasta (unmixed) or short pasta (mixed).

If its unmixed then you want to heat the sauce first and cover to keep it warm. Then cook the pasta. The residual heat from the pasta should heat the already warm sauce back up.

If its mixed, see the posts above mine.
