tried this recipe or a similar one? share your tips...
ill have to make this
My boss makes it with crab paste and what does till al dente mean?
I make this with Penne, I cook it very al dente, then cover it with cream and vodka. Simmering thickens the cream up I think because the starch in the pasta.. but it is hard to judge sometimes just how al dente to cook the pasta so that it does not get overcooked in the cream. This method sounds easier.
