Critical Success Points

  • Do not let the water boil over during the initial cooking stage.
  • Retain enough pasta water (about 1 inch) before adding butter and cheese.
  • Add butter and cheese over low heat and stir continuously to prevent clumping.

Safety Warnings

  • Hot water and steam can cause burns—handle the pan with oven mitts.
  • Butter can splatter when added to a hot pan; add over low heat.
