04
Combine
-
When bowtie pasta is cooked al dente, toss it into the sauce.
-
Mix together the sauce and pasta. Add seasonings to taste. (I found that adding more salt at this step enhanced the flavor)
-
Add 1/4 a cup of pasta water (or as much as necessary) to help the sauce have a smoother consistency.
05
Mix!
-
Lower the heat to a simmer.
-
Add in small portions at a time of parmesan, mozzarella or my favorite, Italian blend cheese.
-
Stir, and continue until you reach your ideal level of cheesiness.
06
Plate
Serve on its own, or add fresh parsley and a dash of oregano for garnish.
