Step 4: Season With Salt and Pepper and Cook Pasta Keep stirring until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the sauce from the heat. Cook your pasta (about 250 grams for two people). When the pasta is cooked, save 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining. Editor's Note: I recommend reserving an additional 1/4 cup pasta water, just in case you need it in the next step.
