Rebecca Fox asked Otago Daily Times Fresh columnists for their advice for first-time cooks. A friend trying to cook pasta in cold water and jammed into a small pot. It is also easy to do variations on this dish as there is a vast array of tasty sausages on the market. If using fresh pasta, it will only take about 3-5 minutes (always check the packet for times), if using dried it will take considerably longer. Put oil in fry pan, add rice... suddenly the rice popped and flew around the kitchen.
