  • 1 tsp. chopped fresh garlic
  • 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper; more to taste
  • 1 Tbs. coarsely chopped fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)

  2. Toss the sauce with just-cooked Cavatappi pasta. Adjust the seasoning to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Add 1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
