Notes
Pro Tips:
If the sauce looks too thick after the pasta finishes cooking, stir in a splash of milk or broth one tablespoon at a time until it loosens. If it looks too thin, let it simmer uncovered for another two minutes before adding the cheese. The right consistency coats a spoon but still pours slightly.Nutrition
