Critical Success Points

  • Finely grate cheese yourself; pre-grated cheese can cause sauce to clump.
  • Cook pasta 1 minute less than package instructions so it finishes in the sauce.
  • Do not burn the garlic; stir constantly and keep heat moderate.
  • Simmer the cream sauce gently to avoid splitting.
  • Add cheese off the heat or at low heat and stir constantly to ensure smooth melting.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful when adding pasta to boiling water to avoid splashes.
  • Do not leave garlic unattended in hot oil/butter; it burns quickly.
  • Use caution when draining or transferring hot pasta.
