Prepare the sauces, you can make homemade sauces or use storebought. You can prep these a day before and keep them in the refrigerator.
Set up the table as you like. Set up the bowls and forks, seasonings, cheeses, sauces, veggies, or whatever else you would like to serve. Ideally, you keep the sauces in crackpots or something else to keep them warm.
Boil the pasta and keep it in bowls. Boil till a little over al dente that is key! In the bowl add a little pasta water, and drizzle a little oil, and mix with the boiled pasta so that it doesn’t stick together. This is something you need to do!
