Critical Success Points

  • Season the pasta water with bouillon and salt before cooking.
  • Do not add oil to the boiling water; it prevents sauce adhesion.
  • Turn off the heat before adding cheese to the cream to avoid curdling.
  • Bake only until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly (about 5 minutes at 425°F).

Safety Warnings

  • Heavy cream can cause severe burns; handle with care and keep away from children.
  • The oven and baking dish will be extremely hot; use oven mitts.
