It is better than any store bought version that I have ever had, because it is made with fresh ingredients. It comes together just as quickly as the ones in the boxes, but it is much tastier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips and Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Before we get started, here are a few tips and tricks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Keep an empty grocery sack on the counter when you are chopping all the vegetables. Use it to collect the trash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Dice vegetables such as bell peppers, jalapenos, and onions in advance. Keep a supply in the refrigerator as well as in the freezer. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"has-medium-font-size\">When boiling the pasta, rub a layer of cooking oil around the top of the pan with a paper towel.  This will keep the water from boiling over and onto the stove.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.LazyGastronome.com\"
