		When serving pasta with sauce a general rule for pairing the sauce with the pasta is to serve the smaller more delicate pastas with smooth, light sauces that don't overpower the pasta and serve the larger, thicker pastas with heartier, more chunky sauces that are thicker in texture.
		The tubular varieties of pasta such as bocconcini, canneroni, elicidali, maccheroni, penne, pennoni, rigatoni, rigatoncini, trenne, tufoli, ziti, and zitoni are best suited for the hearty, chunkier types of sauces such as meat ragu, thick cream sauces, heavier tomato sauces, or pasta dishes made with cheese.
		When cooking pasta in water, bring the water to a rapid boil, stir the pasta periodically, reduce the heat, drain the water away from the pasta and mix it with sauce immediately.
