# Additional Tips::

01 -

Ready in 30 minutes but tastes like you spent all afternoon perfecting it.
That perfect tension between heat and sweetness that makes you keep twirling your fork for one more bite.
Impressive enough to serve when people drop by, humble enough to make on a lonely Tuesday.

02 -

Don't let the garlic brown—burnt garlic will taste bitter and ruin the entire sauce, so watch it closely.
The pasta water is your secret weapon for adjusting consistency; add it a little at a time, not all at once.
