Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor. Fresh herbs, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese make a big difference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the pasta. This will prevent the pasta from sticking together and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the pasta al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. This will prevent it from becoming mushy when you add it to the sauce.
- Save some of the pasta cooking water before draining the pasta. This water can be used to thin out the sauce or adjust the consistency.
- Don't boil the sauce after adding the cream. This will cause the cream to separate and curdle.
- Serve the pasta immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent it from becoming dry or sticky.
