Tips for guaranteed success
-
For extra juiciness, drizzle the meat slices with a teaspoon of lemon juice and let rest for 10 minutes. The acid gently tenderizes the fibers.
-
Choose finely grated cheese; it melts faster and the sauce will be smooth.
-
For a lighter version, replace part of the sauce with vegetable stock and add only a handful of cheese.
-
Don’t rinse the pasta with water; simply toss it with butter and a splash of the cooking water – the starch will help the sauce adhere.
