Notes | FAQ
- I have used penne pasta for the recipe. You can use pasta of your choice.
- Cooking time of pasta will depend on the type of pasta used and the size of your pan.
- Since we are cooking the pasta in medium flame and in milk + water mixture it would take significantly more time to cook, compared to what is listed on the pasta packet.
- If the liquid in the pan evaporates before the pasta is fully cooked, add some extra warm water and continue to cook the pasta.
- By the time the pasta is cooked, if you feel the sauce has become too thick, add a little more milk to thin out the sauce. I added about ¼ Cup of extra milk.
- If you are Vegan, you can substitute with non-Dairy milk and vegan parmesan cheese. However taste and flavor would vary accordingly.
