  6. Par cook pasta in well-seasoned pasta water for about 4-5 minutes.
  7. While pasta is cooking, grease a 13" casserole dish with butter - A plastic bag is great for this and is easy to clean up.
  8. When pasta is done, add to the greased casserole with the sauce and stir to combine (the pasta should look extra saucy, so add more cream if needed! You can also reserve some starchy pasta water from your pot and sub some of the cream for that instead.)
