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.

Taste at the end and adjust salt and pepper after the sauce has reduced.

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.
Refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them according to local food-safety guidance.
