🍳 Cooking Methods Explained
1. Garlic Butter Infusion
Cooking garlic in butter releases deep aroma and creates a rich flavor base.
2. Cream Reduction
Simmering cream thickens it naturally, forming a smooth sauce.
3. Cheese Emulsification
Gradually adding cheddar ensures it melts evenly without clumping.
4. Pasta Water Technique
Starchy water helps bind sauce to pasta for a glossy finish.
