e-booksite.net tip: Al dente refers to the desired texture of cooked pasta in Italian cooking.  When the pasta is cooked al dente, there should be a slight resistance in the center when the pasta is chewed. For a sharper taste to this recipe, use 2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese instead of American cheese.
