Critical Success Points

  • • Do not overcook the chickpea pasta; it can become mushy.
  • • Cook beef just until browned; overcooking dries it out.
  • • Heat cheese sauce gently and stir constantly to prevent curdling or burning.

Safety Warnings

  • • Use caution when draining boiling water from pasta.
  • • Hot cheese sauce can splatter; stir gently and use low heat.
  • • Ensure beef is fully cooked to a safe internal temperature (71°C/160°F).
