Chef's Notes
“Don't overfill — the number one mistake with stuffed pasta. Leave enough edge to seal properly or they'll burst open.”
— Chef Luca Bianchi

Tips & Tricks
- •Always salt your pasta water generously — it should taste like the sea.
- •Reserve a cup of starchy pasta water before draining. It's liquid gold for emulsifying sauces.
- •Cook pasta 1 minute less than the package says if finishing it in the sauce.
