Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pasta Water Magic 💧Always reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining, as its starchy consistency is crucial for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that perfectly coats the Banza cavatappi.
- Burrata Placement Perfection 🧀Add room temperature burrata just before serving, allowing it to gently melt into the warm pasta without completely breaking down, creating luxurious creamy pockets.
- Pesto Depth Enhancement 🌿Toast your garlic lightly in olive oil before adding pesto to intensify its aromatics and develop a more complex flavor profile in the sauce.
- Spice Layer Technique 🌶️Bloom your dry spices (onion powder, garlic powder, paprika) in butter for 30 seconds before adding cream to unlock their full flavor potential and prevent raw spice taste.
- Cheese Emulsification Trick 🥄Grate Parmesan very finely and add it off the heat, stirring continuously to ensure smooth integration without clumping or separating.
