Use high-quality cheeses for the best flavor and melting properties. Pre-shredded cheese often contains cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Don't overcook the pasta! Al dente is key for the perfect texture. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the pasta but not so thick that it becomes gloppy. Adjust the consistency with reserved pasta water as needed. For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce. Serve immediately, as the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
