Critical Success Points
- • Do not overcook the chickpea pasta; it can become mushy.

- • 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).
