Cost Breakdown
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.
