Notes
- Cook your pasta until it's al dente. This ensures it retains a bit of bite and won’t become mushy when tossed with the sauce. Reserve some pasta water before draining, as it can help adjust the sauce's consistency later.
- You can season the sauce with freshly cracked black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg for depth. Finish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for brightness.
- Always remember to use reserved pasta water gradually to create a creamy, cohesive sauce that clings to the noodles.
- I do recommend you avoid pre-grated cheese, as it often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the sauce’s texture.
