Cooking notes
Reserve a little pasta water before draining; a splash can help loosen and coat the sauce.
Garlic cooks quickly; keep the heat moderate to avoid burning it and turning it bitter.
Traditional parmesan is made with animal rennet. Use a vegetarian hard cheese if you need the dish to be fully vegetarian.
Good to know
Serve it with a simple side that complements the main ingredients, such as a salad, cooked vegetables, bread or rice where appropriate.
Yes. A similar short pasta can usually be swapped for another short shape, while spaghetti-style pasta works best with sauces designed to coat long strands.
