Equipment

Notes

  • Salt your pasta water! Add about 2 tablespoons Kosher salt to the boiling water just before you add the pasta. This is your first chance to season the pasta and will go along with in improving the flavor of the overall dish.

  • Don’t overcook the pasta! Cook just until al dente so it’s still got a bit of a toothsome bite.

  • Grate your own cheese! Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest, creamiest sauce and the best flavor.

  • Adjust the sauce consistency based upon your preference! Add extra broth or cream if the sauce thickens too much.
