Notes du chef
“I never add cream to a hot pan that's been on high heat — I always reduce the temperature first to prevent splitting.”

Trucs et astuces
- •Always salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- •Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water before draining. It's liquid gold for emulsifying sauces.
- •Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says if finishing it in the sauce.

Made this for a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. It's impressive enough for guests but easy enough for Tuesday night.
Five stars! The flavour combination is spot on. I added a little extra garlic because that's how we like it, and it was incredible.
This is now our go-to weeknight dinner. Ready in under 30 minutes and tastes like it took hours. My kids ask for seconds every time.
Comme au restaurant! La sauce est onctueuse et les pâtes parfaitement al dente. Bravo pour cette recette.
