Part 7/8:
Rosco’s journey from a dismal 2.3-star review to what he hopes will be a five-star experience highlights some crucial lessons:
Flavor Depth: Don’t shy away from rendering fats or adding cured meats—they add invaluable flavor.
Proper Pasta Cooking: Avoid over- or undercooking by adjusting pressure cook times and potential final simmering.
Cream and Texture: Incorporate dairy carefully to enhance creaminess without losing sauce consistency.
Visual and Flavor Appeal: Use vibrant ingredients like basil and tearable cheese to elevate appearance and taste.
Adjustments and Creativity: Making slight modifications, like leaving the lid ajar for pasta absorption, can significantly improve the dish.
