Notes
Tips
- Keep in mind, you'll need a large pan for this recipe. I recommend a 12 inch skillet that's at least 3 inches deep. You can also use a large pot if that's what you have on hand.
- All kinds of cheeses work well with this pasta recipe. Monterey jack, cotija, cheddar etc. Feel free to experiment.
- I recommend using thin noodles for this recipe. Spaghetti, angel hair, and even linguine are all good options.
