Notes

- I always keep an eye on the cooking time to get that perfect al dente texture. Trust me, no one wants soggy pasta!
- I always go for a good quality extra virgin olive oil. It really boosts the flavor and gives the dish that rich, savory kick. Trust me, it makes all the difference!
- Fresh garlic is key! It’s more aromatic and flavorful than pre-minced garlic, so it’s definitely worth the extra step.
