Tip O' The Week

I love pasta. Now I love it even more without taking a bite. Here are a few clever uses for uncooked spaghetti noodles!

• Protect the frosting job on a cake by sticking spaghetti noodles into the top before wrapping with plastic. (This is a better alternative to toothpicks because the noodles are longer.)
• Mark a recipe in your cook book with one.
• Use one as a cake tester if yours has gone MIA.
• Use to light candles on a birthday cake. You can light a lot more candles at once than with a match.
