Garlic Control: Keep heat medium-low when cooking garlic to prevent burning and bitterness.

Sauce Consistency: Use pasta water gradually to achieve perfect creamy sauce consistency.

Cheese Integration: Add Parmesan off heat to prevent clumping and ensure smooth melting.

Serving Speed: Serve immediately as the sauce thickens quickly and noodles absorb liquid.

Flavor Balance: Adjust soy sauce and seasonings to taste - some prefer saltier, others milder.
