Cost Breakdown
Critical Success Points
- • Do not add oil when cooking the merguez; they already release enough fat.
- • Properly deglaze the pan with the broth to recover the browned bits.
- • Reduce the sauce sufficiently before adding the pasta to avoid a too liquid consistency.
- • Cook the pasta very briefly (3 min) so they stay al dente and absorb the sauce.
Safety Warnings
- • Be careful of boiling water splashes when draining.
- • Use gloves or a kitchen sleeve to handle the very hot pan.
