Tips & Tricks

Aged cheese goes amazingly well with this recipe, although you can always stick to your favorite cheese.

The cooking water is added to make the sauce lighter. Don’t use any other water. Because the cooking water is enriched with starch from the pasta, it makes sauces lighter but still consistent.
