Notes
- Take care not to overcook your pasta! It’s really easy to cook it for too long, and you’ll end up with a mushy texture.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese tastes best in this recipe. The tubs of pre-grated cheese often contain stabilizers and anti caking agents and they don’t taste as good or melt as well.
