How much salt do I use to cook dry pasta? For 1 pound of pasta, in 3-4 quarts of water, you should add 1-1/2 tablespoons of salt. So if it's 1/2 pound of pasta, add 1/2 that amount of salt. Add more or less to your taste, but keep in mind, the sauce will have a little salt. So depends on your taste.
Can I reheat leftover baked penne pasta? Yes, this is a great recipe to reheat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet or heat it in the oven on 350F for 10 minutes or so (until it’s heated through).
