Tips
- Use sodium citrate to melt any cheese, including low-fat or aged cheeses, without adding extra calories.
- Cook pasta in a small amount of cold water from the start to create a concentrated starchy water for a creamier sauce and save energy.
- Stir pasta occasionally during the first few minutes of cooking to prevent sticking.
- If the cheese sauce is too thick, add a little bit of water.
- If you want more cheesy flavor, add more cheese.
