# How to Make It:
01 -

06 -
Stir uncooked pasta into the skillet, ensuring it is fully submerged in the liquid.

Bring contents to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and sauce is slightly thickened.
08 -
Stir in 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese until melted and creamy.
