Part 4/7:
With a splash of white wine added to the pan, Canel explains how this not only enhances flavor but also helps deglaze the pan. Next comes chicken stock, lemon zest, and juice—a shining star in this recipe, promising bright and refreshing flavors.
After the mixture comes to a boil, it’s time to add the pasta. Canel prefers fusilli for its ability to absorb the sauce well, but any short pasta will do. He mentions that at this stage, the pasta should only partially cook to ensure a perfect final texture after baking.
Cherry tomatoes are tossed in to add sweetness, and viewers learn that they can be roasted separately for a beautiful presentation on top.
