Preparation
Chef’s notes
You can use any kind of pasta you’d like for this recipe — traditional semolina, whole-wheat pasta, gluten-free pasta.
Be sure to generously salt the water before adding the pasta to enhance the flavor.
For a richer flavor, you may use butter instead of olive oil.
Freshly grated Parmesan will yield a more flavorful sauce.
Optional toppings include extra Parmesan or fresh parsley.
