Critical Success Points

  • Bring the milk to a full boil before adding pasta.
  • Stir constantly while the pasta cooks to avoid sticking.
  • Remove the pot from heat before adding cheese to prevent a grainy sauce.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot milk can scald; handle the pot with oven mitts.
  • Do not leave boiling milk unattended to avoid overflow.
