## Tips

- Use high-fat, cultured, demi-sel (slightly salted) French butter for better flavor.
- Choose Maccheroni pasta cut with a bronze die for a rougher surface that holds sauce better and releases more starch.
- Cook the pasta pre-al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package suggests.
- Use Parmigiano Reggiano aged for 24 months.
- Grate the cheese finely with a microplane so it melts easily.
- Use a pan with high, curved walls to help with tossing and emulsifying the sauce.
