Notes
- Reserve more pasta water than you think you'll need; it's the key to a silky, emulsified sauce.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best melting and flavor. Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that prevent a smooth sauce.
- Don't overcook the pasta – aim for *just* al dente, as it will finish cooking in the sauce. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
