Cook pasta
To cook pasta, you need to boil 3 liters of water in a large pot and season with kosher salt. Then, start cooking the pasta for 6-7 minutes, or about a minute before cooking. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain the rest and set the distillation tube aside.

Spices: Add more black pepper or crushed chili while cooking to absorb heat, creating a spicy taste when eaten.
Extra Cream: Add more Parmigiano-Reggiano and Pecorino cheese to make the dish more creamy.
