Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Ladle out 1 cup of pasta water right before you drain. Cook to al dente, or preferred softness. Drain and set aside.

  4. When melted, whisk in the Parmesan cheese, heavy cream and reserved pasta water until blended.
  5. Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce.

Notes

  • *You can also use milk or omit this all together. I find the cream cheese melts easier with it.
  • **Pasta water helps to thin the sauce and coat the pasta evenly. Pasta water is a little starchy, so it works best to not thin too much and also have a tiny bit of flavor. It is also, presumably hot. if you forget to ladle this out, use the hottest water from that tap with 1 teaspoon of flour whisked in.
