TIPS:
If the sauce gets too thick, use a little of the pasta water to let it down. This will help firstly because the water is hot and seasoned. With good quality dried pasta some of the starch comes out in the water which helps bind the sauce to the linguini. Removing the pasta 1 minute before its done, allows you to finish cooking it in the sauce so it absorbs the flavours. It is important to use the right amount of salt to pasta to water. 10-100-1000 being the ratio of salt to pasta to water. So, 10 grams of salt is the right amount to cook 100 grams of pasta in 1000 millilitres of water (1000 ml = 1 litre).
