## Equipment

- saucepan
- wooden spoon
- fork

## Tips

- Use a narrower saucepan for cooking the pasta.
- Barely cover the pasta with water to prevent it from evaporating too soon.
- When adding evaporated milk, do not bring it to a full boil; a small simmer for a moment is enough.
- You can take the noodles off the heat after adding the milk, and they will continue to soften.
- Do not use pre-shredded cheese for the best results.
