It is normal to make mistakes at first but you will definitely get better. However, to help you make the best Paccheri Pasta, here are some tips you should consider.

  1. Ready-made tomato sauce?

This recipe I have included here allows you to make your own tomato sauce. It offers more freshness and flavour into your dish. You also get to control the salt. However, you might want to save time. You can get a ready-made tomato sauce. You should check for salt levels before using it.

  1. No Lamb (Mutton)?

Quite unfortunate you couldn’t get mutton for this recipe. Except if you are very interested in using mutton, you can also try out beef. You should not forget to spice them well too.

  1. Serving options

Although the dish is fantastic on its own, you might want to add some little customization. You can add more vegetables to make it greener. You can throw in spinach, broccoli, peas, celery and more. Buts, do not overdo this.
