Marry Me Pasta Faq: 7 Secrets to Perfecting the Viral Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
By Robert Thorne
Never rinse pasta. Boiling water strips the exterior starch you need to fuse the skillet components. Pull your pasta from the boiling pot two minutes before reaching the package's suggested al dente time. Transfer the noodles directly into the bubbling cream sauce with tongs or a spider strainer.
Splash 1/4 cup of reserved pasta cooking water into the pan. Toss vigorously over medium heat. Starch binds the separated lipids into a smooth, glossy glaze. Right before plating, fold in finely chopped fresh basil garnish. Basil wilts under high heat and turns black if added too early. Adding it off the burner preserves its peppery, licorice sweetness against the rich cream and parmesan.
