Notes

1. Parmesan - if you grate your own, make sure you either weigh the parmesan or pack the cup when measuring. This is because freshly grated parmesan is much fluffier than store bought.

If using store bought parmesan, add it in with the pasta, don't try to melt it in the sauce because it won't melt through the sauce, you'll end up with chunks of melted cheese in the sauce.
