  • Do not blend the tomato; break it by hand or crush it for a better flavor.
  • Remove the garlic after it has discharged its perfume.
  • Add cream off the heat, as it doesn't need to be cooked, to create a pink sauce.
  • Melt butter before adding mozzarella.
  • Melt mozzarella off the heat with the residual heat of the pot to prevent it from becoming watery.
