- Serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan. Enjoy!
Notes
To get the timing right, make sure to start cooking your pasta before you make the sauce. You want to cook the pasta until it's just shy of al dente (it will finish cooking in the sauce).
For best results, use top quality ingredients for this recipe (no canned or pre-shredded Parmesan) and avoid making substitutions.
