Chef Tips Pasta Water Hack: Don't throw away all the pasta water! If your sauce feels a bit too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the starchy water you boiled the pasta in; it helps the sauce emulsify and cling perfectly to the noodles. Tomato Tip: For an even smoother sauce, you can remove the tomato skins after they become soft in the pan before mashing them. Cheese Quality: Always use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than the pre-grated kind to get that perfect, silky melt in your sauce.
