Notes
Notes:
Gather your ingredients, and measure them out before you cook. This is a fairly quick recipe, so you'll need them at hand as you go.
Keep whisking!! You want this to be a smooth, thick sauce.
Make this with any kind of pasta - fettuccine works exceptionally well, but penne, rotini and bowties have all gotten rave reviews here.
Use the best quality ingredients you can afford!
