A pro tip matched to this dish — not a generic kitchen shortcut.
Pasta absorbs water as it cooks. Under-salted water means bland noodles no matter how good your sauce is. Taste the boiling water before adding pasta.
Kitchen Tip
The key to perfect risotto is constant stirring and adding warm broth gradually. This creates the creamy texture without making it mushy.
