Notes

NOTES & TIPS

Break pasta in half so it cooks evenly in the pot
Stir once or twice to prevent sticking
Add softer vegetables (like peas) at the end to keep their texture
Let the pasta sit a few minutes after cooking—the sauce will thicken slightly
Add a splash of broth when reheating leftovers
