I like this a lot but it's not fancy, it's more like lazy bachelor food. For this purpose it's great though, especially since all of the ingredients last for ages so you can just throw it together whenever instead of having to worry about cream going bad.
I always messed it up until I realized the keys to making it work
>you have to take the pan OFF ALL HEAT, not even super low, or the cheese will form glue on the pan.
>make sure you keep enough pasta water so the sauce can still flow a bit
>work in batches with finely grated parm
Combo of 1&3 means you'll end up with lukewarm noodles at the end. The final secret to spoon those noodles into your bowl and nuke it gently in the microwave to get it hot again. Once the cheese coats everything, that's safe so long as you don't over-do it. Italians will never reveal this final secret because it hurts their ego
