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.
