Pro Tips

Before draining the pasta, set aside about a small ladleful of the cooking water. Adding this to the sauce will help the cream cling to the pasta much better and give the sauce a beautiful shine.
Be careful not to over-boil the sauce after adding the cream. A gentle simmer is all it needs; otherwise the cream may split or turn greasy.
The pasta shapes that carry this sauce best are fettuccine, penne, or tagliatelle. Having the sauce get trapped inside the pasta multiplies the flavor of the dish.

About This Recipe

Pasta — known as "pasta" in Italy where we think it originated, "noodles" in Japan and China, "spaetzle" in Germany, and "erişte" in Turkey. While it is culturally associated with Italian cuisine, it is quite possible that it derived from Japanese and Chinese noodles. Archaeologists believe that Asians were producing pasta and its variations thousands of years ago.

Pasta is made from durum wheat, water, and eggs. Because durum wheat is high in gluten, it is the most suitable wheat for making pasta. And when dried, these pastas can be stored for an almost indefinite period of time. Since durum wheat is grown in our country, pasta has always held a firm place at our tables thanks to its affordability, practicality, and long shelf life.

From past to present, pasta has mostly been cooked by boiling in water. Since we're on the topic — should you or shouldn't you add a few drops of vegetable oil to the water when boiling pasta? Honestly, even world-famous chefs can't agree on the answer to this question. For example, Viviani considers it a needless waste and argues that pasta won't stick if you stir it, while Ramsay is one of the biggest advocates of adding oil to pasta cooking water.
