Notes

TIPS for the best result:
Use a good quality pasta which will hold the shape much better.
Don’t over mix! It is important to stir regularly but you don’t want to mix too much, especially toward the end
Serve immediately. This is not a meal I would keep for later or to eat the next day. The pasta is at his best when served straight away and if you leave it for later the pasta will keep going “cooking” and it will result in a soggy pasta (which as Italian I really can’t morally allow)
